This video is a lesson on air travel in Spanish. This will be beneficial when traveling to foreign countries with no English translators. The video is set up in a flashcards style in order to introduce basic vocabulary. Many airports write signs in multiple languages, but learning this vocabulary is still helpful. I would go as far as saying it is essential. When I traveled to Ecuador in summer 2009, it was a challenge when I was split from the group in the airport. Security chose to surround me and srted giving me orders that i did not understand. This was extremely scary! Thankfully, one of the men in the group were able to explain to customs who i was and what I was doing. Interestingly, this was on the way out of the country and not into the country. I was scared i was going to be stuck there for those few moments of chaos. This video acknowledges and reviews a few subtle differences between countries in the words used. For example: people use tomar in Latin America.
