Yes even though it doesn't work, there are some great language
learning methods out there that are sometimes even designed to be
learned through audio.
I like Michel Thomas, but they are very expensive, so just for travel
it might not be a good idea
www.michelthomas.co.uk
I have also heard of Pimsleur. Penton Overseas also has a CD program
for Spanish, German, French or Italian, I think they're called, for
example the French one is Global French Deluxe language course.
Then for if you just want some travel phrases and things there are
language courses on the audible.
