Ever considered learning a foreign language but then decided it was too hard? Too time-consuming? Too boring? Well, think again! Learning a language doesn't need to be difficult and you don't need to learn a lot of complicated grammar.
Just think of how much more you could get out of your time away if you spoke the language. Speaking the local language could make the difference between missing or making a train connection because you didn't know how to ask for the platform number. More importantly, it can be a means of getting a better grasp of the culture of the country you're visiting and of interacting with local people.
Oxford has developed a brand new language course for those who want to learn French, German, Italian or Spanish with minimum effort and maximum result. The course is organized around six thematic units, covering topics such as eating out or travelling around. It consists of 3 hours of audio content (on cassettes or audio CDs) and a short two-colour layout coursebook. The handy pocket-size pack also contains a credit-card size survival guide, which you can slip in your purse or wallet so that you always have useful phrases at your fingertips!
