Languages of Europe and Air Travel


A Happy St. Patrick's Day to those celebrating. It was parades and festivities and beer guides last week, so today it is European languages (and the language of air travel).

Travel to Europe can certainly be made a bit easier by knowing at least a few words in the native language of the country you visit.

Air travel also has its own language, which although it may not be useful in a foreign land, you never know, it may come in handy if you start hearing airline workers using industry lingo. I have a fairly extensive dictionary of air travel terms

And foreign language words and phrases that could be useful for your travels from the Guides at About - French Pronunciation and Audio files (French Language); Italian Language Audio Lab (Italian Language); Spanish for Travel (Spanish Language); German Travel (German Language); Greek Language resources (Greece for Visitors).
