Send two girls out in Barcelona with a Rick Steve's book and city map. Receive two frustrated girls in a bar, signing for tapas and alcohol.
My friend Kaitlyn is extremely good at Spanish. I would claim near fluent, though she would argue. This poses a slight problem, however, when the country you are visiting speaks Catalan, which is a strange mixture of Spanish, French and Gibberish. It's also extremely helpful that the only languages I speak are English, a wee bit o' German and a sprinkling of Elvish from the good ole Lord of the Rings days...awkward.
Regardless of the language barrier - the two of us are quite capable of reading a map and navigating. The only issue then lies with Rick Steve's "Metro" signs being in the middle of a city park. Live and learn, right?
