My theory, which is mine (ahem), is that you can learn the important touristy rudiments of a language by switching your GPS to it while driving around in the US. Distance measures, numbers, left, right, straight ahead, street, east/west, plus a solid feel for pronunciation, word order, and cadence - it seems excellent. Has anyone out there tried it? I don't use one myself.
When driving back from Parris Island my two Romanians found it uproarious to listen to the GPS direction in their language while driving in NJ. Drept inainte.

Sounds like a good idea, but don't leave home before you've also studied a cookbook. Catalogues are a great way of learning vocab, but I don't know of any audio catalogs on line. Still, just getting used to a few catalogues in another language even without audio is a great way to explore language and lifestyle.
