Learning Spanish For Valencia

Next Spring I am off to Valencia, Spain. From the guidebooks I have learnt that Valencia has a mash-up of historic architecture from the Romans, through Moorish and Medieval. One of the most amazing buildings is the “City of the Sciences and Arts” which was built by Santiago Calatrava. One of the largest and oldest cathedrals in the world is also in Valencia. Amazing entrance.

By the time I get there I should have finished with my Learn Spanish DVD and be speaking to the locals about their architecture.

The Canary Islands are Spain's largest archipelago

The Canary Islands are Spain's largest archipelago and are located 100km off the northwest coast of Africa west of Morocco. The Canaries have great natural attractions, climate and beaches making the islands a major tourist destination, being visited each year by about 12 million people. Among the islands, Tenerife has the most number of tourists received annually, followed by Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. Tenerife's main tourist attraction is the Teide National Park where the highest mountain in Spain and third largest volcano in the world (Mount Teide) is located.

Tenerife is a great place to practice Spanish, as the locals speak with a very clear pronunciation. Don't forget to take your learn Spanish DVD with you.

Is there an artificial language based on romance languages?

Is there an artificial language based on romance languages?

Yes, in fact there's more than one, but the main one is InterLingua. Although like Esperanto, it does have influences from Russian and German and in particular English, it is however much more largely based on the romance languages.

Millions understand Interlingua "at first sight"

Speakers of Romance languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, French or Italian especially understand Interlingua immediately and almost effortlessly.

Why do we need yet another language though? I am sticking to my learn Spanish DVD course.
