Lingo Phrasebook Playing Cards by Diana Stanciulescu
Lingo is an interactive phrasebook providing you new way of learning new language through playing cards
Diana Stanciulescu, illustrator-architect living in Romania, is a creator of Lingo Playing Cards. Lingo is an interactive phrasebook providing you new way of learning a language. The deck of cards offers a fun and easy way to learn translations and intuitive pronunciations essential for travelling overseas. The deck, with European design containing 54 words and phrases, cover topics including: getting around, finding a room, making new friends and grabbing a bargain.
Diana explains:
"The light-bulb moment of Lingo occurred while surfing a fun day at Las Flores during the tail end of a central American surf odyssey. For weeks I'd been living easy; days spent surfing, exploring, playing endless card games & enjoying the mayhem of life in El Salvador. Over sunset cervezas I put pen to playing cards and the first deck of Lingo was born. I had all the essentials down in one deck and my Spanish improved with every hand played. Just the essentials. It's all you need."
