    Cunning linguists I spy game.

    This is a game for travelling, just like I spy but with a twist: the questions are in one language and you answer in a different language.
    i.e.

    I spy with my little eye something beginning with 'C'. :-> Bil

    I spy with my little eye something beginning with 'T'. :-> Asfalt
    Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
    threadeds website, and here's my blog.

      i.e. should be e.g.

        and anyway, surely is wouldn't be hard to spy asfalt when driving, as the road is covered in the stuff.

          I think he means, you spot something that starts with a t (tarmac)
          but give the answer in a forrin lingo, asfalt.

          might be ok if you were trying to help your kids learn a foreign language.

              Too easy, how about:

              I spy with my French eye something beginning with l'
