Learn-a-language Playing Cards

“I was traveling the world with a ratty old notebook. It was full of Spanish words and phrases I was trying to learn. I was in the Acapulco Gold region, and every night I’d play cards. One day it hit me: Spanish playing cards! I started scribbling Spanish phrases from my notebook with a Sharpie onto a deck of playing cards—and that’s how I learned the language!”
