The Boar – Sophie Hurst
“When thinking about travelling the world, most people imagine long days out in the sun exploring a new and exciting country. What often doesn’t spring to mind is that all too familiar moment which occurs at the front of a queue in a local shop when you are left standing, looking blankly at someone who has just posed you a question, in a language you don’t speak.

It is also at this moment that many find themselves having a change of heart, exclaiming ‘I wish I’d paid more attention to languages at school!’.” (more)
