Polyglots at 33,000 feet

I love the idea of inflight language lessons, as mentioned in this week’s Springwise newsletter. Seems like a truly useful thing to try on the long flight to Seoul, Sao Paulo or Tokyo.
Naturally, you wouldn’t expect to be fluent on touch down at Narita and, for the sake of neighbours watching the Bond movie, students would have to keep a lid on their oral repetition. But it’s not often you step off a plane at the end of a flight having learned a new skill (apart from the ability to open little packets of UHT milk).

    This is a fantastic idea. How about Moroccan dialect?:-)
