Up, Up and Away to New Places

The month of March Spencer's language classes are taking virtual vacations to various places on the web. This vacation won't require you to pack your bags or pay a lot of money to visit the most famous sites in the world. Student's in speech check out http://www.quia.com/pages/speechersclass.html for practice words. Commitment + Effort + Practice = Learning.

Check out some awesome web-sites about travel:

*At the bottom of their front page is the Around the World section. You will be able to click on a map, see pictures of various places and learn through reading about the countries you visit.
