TWA will fly you to the language of your
choice.
Your teachers will be waiters, waitresses,
bartenders, barmaids, shopkeepers, bellboys,
chambermaids, hotel clerks, policemen, cab
drivers... and just plain and fancy natives.
You'll do more than learn a language.
That, you can do through text books.
You'll learn how to communicate with that
language.
What language do you want your forte to
be? French, Italian, German, Swahili,
Spanish, Portuguese, Greek???? You name it.
And TWA will fly you there for your summer
vaca tion...,
Why TWA?
Because we have more flights going to
where you're probably going during the
summer, than any other airline.
That means you can leave when you want
to leave--not when someone tells you it's
your turn to leave.
Call TWA, your travel agent or the TWA
campus representative.
