6. TONCONTIN AIRPORT, HONDURAS The approach to Toncontin Airport, located near the capital of Honduras, has long been considered to be one of the most dangerous in the world, especially in inclement weather condition.

It’s also one of the world’s deadliests airports. In 1989, a Boeing commercial plane crashed into a mountainside on approach, killing 132 people.

10 Tips for Becoming Fluent in a Second (or Third!) Language
1. Learn as much as possible before you go abroad. While this is contrary to most language-learning advice, I strongly think you should know as much of a language as possible before going abroad- that way you can best maximize your time spent in the foreign country actually becoming fluent and not just learning the basics.
