Memory Jogger!!
All too often hear on these forums about the fear of no doctor or hospital or solicitor where no English is spoken.
Last week whilst out shopping in Fuengirola I went into the English Book shop at the shopping centre. Whilst browsing saw these mini fold up cards for E1.95 each. Each one puls out and is full of information on any given topic. I bought one for all the medical terms and sentences etc and one for driving which I keep in the car. Simple yes, but even as a fairly good speaker of Spanish a word like nerve or vein might escape me so these cards are a godsend. Try www.minipocketguides.com and see for yourselves.
