The importance of learning a second language… or even just a few useful words.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Locals in Toledo, Spain heard an American screaming for “Help” in English<\/a> and thought he was shouting “Pepe” over and over again. It wasn’t until some multilingual German passers-by heard him that the fire brigade was called and he was fished out of the river Tajo after 3 hours of rope action. He was fine by all accounts afterwards and treated for hypothermia.<\/p>\n
