How To Learn A Language In An Hour! |
|
How much of a foreign language can you learn in an hour? An unfamiliar language, one with strange sounds and odd expressions? More than you think! Local linguist Derek Rogers will kick-start you in a real but unusual language - Finnish, maybe, or Slovenian. You'll find out which language when you get there! At the end of the hour you'll have short conversation with a native speaker. Think of that - in a language you didn't know an hour before! |
