Explain How to Learn a New Language for Travel in Three Months

You have a trip booked and three months to get from nothing to ordering a coffee without pointing. This briefs the model as a polyglot coach focused on rapid travel fluency, so you get a method aimed at conversational survival rather than a grammar textbook you will abandon. Good for people who over-study rules and under-practise speaking.
