Can you do a few minutes of language learning via Duolingo etc? Just enough to say hello, goodbye, please and thank you? Who’s their most famous writer? Read a short story Have they ever had a movie up for best foreign picture Oscar, or best short or best documentary? Where would you stay? Pick a hotel. Have a look on Google Street View to see where you “are” Is there a board game (or video game!) from that country to try? What sights would you try to see if you were there?
