It used to be the ‘thing’ for average people to spend a few weeks in Europe. These days, I don’t think most people travel abroad, for one reason or another. Personally, however, I would love to be able to go to Europe. Anywhere, almost, for at least a few days.

But once I got there, where would I go? Luckily, it is possible to download an audioguide to listen to on your MP3 player of cities in Europe. Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona. And in multiple languages, too!

I’m considering downloading the ones in French and Spanish, even if I can’t actually visit the cities, so that I’ll have some extra language stuff to listen to.

I went to sleep today with Spanish language learning audio files. I’ve listened to them before, but it has been awhile. It’s kind of funny, I can mostly understand the Spanish while it’s playing but I have a hard time remembering it later.

That always happens. I can remember the other language’s words just fine while I’m studying… but step away from the books and I can barely remember a single word. It is very frustrating!

But one of these days… one of these days… I will become fluent in something!

I’d like to be fluent in at least one other language, semi-fluent in others.

In my time online, I’ve talked to/emailed people from all over the world. Italy, Australia, Asia, Germany… All over. Some of them have almost perfect written English skills, some not so much. No doubt some of them could benefit from getting help at English School London.

Heck, sometimes I think I, personally, could benefit from learning English in another country. Petrol, cookies/biscuits, chips/crisps… and then there’ve been some really odd misunderstandings.

Seriously, though, that site offers free help in learning languages in London; finding a school, a place to stay, etc. They also offer a free monthly ‘English class’ with travel phrases.

It’s currently geared towards people who speak Spanish, since that’s the language translation thingie at the top.

I want to learn Spanish so I can go to England and learn English.
