Intro:
|
In 1914, Ernest Schackleton set off from Argentina for Antarctica on what
turned into one of the greatest adventures of all time. The one word
that best describes Ernest and his team's trip is Endurance because they were
stranded numerous times and only survived through endurance.
A not so dissimilar voyage occured in 2002. I found my way to Uruguay
and Chile with a whole 4 weeks of Spanish language tapes under my belt.
Needless to say, it was pure endurance that allowed me to spend 2
weeks with my limited Spanish skills and a phrase book.

Learn in your car
is a great series for learning languages quickly. This audio cassette program
helped me learn the basics before entering Spanish speaking South America.
