Free Ecuador Spanish Cue Cards
Below are some Cue Cards for you to download, print and carry with you. I originally created them for my own use in Ecuador and later decided to make them available to others free of charge. Each contains about 40 key words and phrases for various places and situations you may find yourself in. I took mine to a local printer to have them laminated very inexpensively.
I hope they work as well for you as they did for me.
