Geography 101: A Great Free Tool to Improve Your Geography Skills
How many minutes would it take you to identify Bhutan on a world map without names, only borders? How about Djibouti? Or Slovenia?
Don't worry, you aren't alone. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of other people struggle with geography. Once you've graduated from school and settled into your career, no one starts asking uncomfortable questions like, "What's the capital of Lithuania?", until your kids hit third or fourth grade.
It isn't awfully hard to get rusty.
But what do you do to make a change? Tutoring? Yeah, right! But a boring book or audio set that you'll never look at again?
Why waste the money?
