**Spanish Language for Travelers: More Than Just a Tourist** //"Cambie su idioma y cambiar sus pensamientos." // //“Change your language and you change your thoughts.” // //~Karl Albrecht //

 **Travel Language Course**

This short, travel language course will focus on travel essentials: Asking for directions, dealing with menus, and delighting your hosts with a few well-chosen words and phrases. Whether you plan to travel, have traveled, or travel frequently, here’s an opportunity to learn just the basics in a new language.

Nothing will enhance your travel experiences or bring you closer to the true identity of a country than its language. Making the effort to use the native language promises a deeper connection to the country and its people, distinguishing you as more than a tourist. Deepen your next travel adventure under the guidance of Spanish language instructor Tamara Falcone. Learn how to communicate your needs and respond to questions at the airport, on public transportation, in restaurants and hotels. Gain insight into basic grammar and culture, and get the tools to help you direct the course of a conversation. This highly interactive class is designed to expose you to the language in ways you can really use it: Pictures of road signs and traffic rules help with city and highway navigation, creative in-class conversations offer needed interactions, and between-class assignments build on lessons learned. Come away with a solid foundation for your next trip to a Spanish-speaking country.

**Five sessions** Tues., 6:30-8:30 pm, Oct. 18, 25, Nov. 1, 8, 15.

**Instructor:** //Tammy Falcone, certified K-12 Spanish Instructor, B.S. Environmental Education, M.Ed. Curriculum and Instruction, two-time Peace Corps Volunteer Honduras, Argentina, experienced world traveler.//
