Market Opportunity
Travelers want to learn 20–30 essential phrases before a trip — not become fluent. A 2-hour crash course teaching greetings, ordering food, directions, numbers, and emergency phrases — specific to one language — is an impulse purchase for upcoming travelers.
The Idea
Offer 'Travel [Language] in 2 Hours' crash course workshops. Languages: Italian, French, Japanese, Thai, Spanish, Portuguese. Format: live 2-hour Zoom workshop covering 30 essential phrases with pronunciation practice. Includes downloadable phrase cheat sheet and audio practice files. Price $19–29 per workshop.
Key to Success
- Focus on IMMEDIATE USABILITY — phrases they'll use on day 1 of the trip: 'where is...', 'how much...', 'thank you'
- Create destination-specific variants — 'Italian for Rome' includes restaurant and museum phrases; 'Spanish for Mexico' differs from Spain
- Record the workshop and sell as on-demand — travelers buy last-minute and need instant access
