You've all heard the usual travel advice, right? Pack light, bring a neck pillow, keep a portable charger handy. Yeah, those are all good. But the real travel hack don't wait until you land to start learning the language. Instead, try Babel, right? For just 10 minutes a day. That's all you have to commit 10 minutes a day. And sometimes you can even do less. Babel can help you start having real conversations in as little as three weeks. Instead of memorizing random vocab, you are learning phrases. Things that you would use ordering dinner or asking for directions, talking with the locals. What I love about Babel is it gamifies learning a language. And for me, I need that. I need to want to go back every day to learn. And I've been now on a year long streak with Babel. I was thrilled. I don't think I've kept up with any of my apps. In any way, like Babel. OK, if you've got summer travel coming up, now is the time to start so you can actually use what you learn on the trip. Right now, Babel is offering listeners up to 60% off. Go to babel.com slash bonkers. That's babelba.bba. .com slash bonkers for up to 60% off. Rules and restrictions may apply."
