In this travel-ready episode of Linguistics Behind the Scenes, Christina and Dominic ask a deceptively simple question: if you could learn only 100 words of a language, which ones would you choose?


- Which words are essential when you're travelling – and which can you live without?

- Can a phrasebook really help you communicate with just 100 words?

- How do you express complex ideas when your vocabulary is tiny?

- Are phrasebooks just practical tools, or the first step toward language learning?


Explore the art of saying more with less, and discover how even a handful of carefully chosen words in Christina’s phrasebook can open the door to meaningful communication in Spanish.
