While it\u2019s true that English is the second language of nearly almost every country on Earth, there are a few cases where you knowing only English might not help you at all. Therefore, you need to be prepared to speak the particular language of wherever you plan to travel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. \u201cYou had me at \u2018Hello<\/a>\u2019.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Every good conversation starts with a friendly \u201chello\u201d. At the very least, make sure that you know how to greet people in their native language when traveling overseas. Likewise, don\u2019t forget to say \u201cthank you\u201d in their language after they\u2019ve helped you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Ask for directions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It happens to the best of us and if you find yourself lost in a foreign city. Asking the locals might be your only chance of getting back to your hotel before dark. Even those who speak English as a second language sometimes have the hardest time when it comes to giving direction. So, knowing basic directions like \u201cright\u201d \u201cleft\u201d and \u201cstraight\u201d in the country you\u2019re visiting can help you on your way back home safe and sound.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. In case of emergency\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Maybe you don\u2019t like to think about it, but if you travel often enough, eventually something might go wrong. However, it doesn\u2019t have to go horribly wrong if you learn some words in the native tongue like \u201cHelp!\u201d, \u201cCall an ambulance!\u201d,\u00a0 or \u201cPolice!\u201d. Even though we hope you never have to use these words, you can rest a little easier just knowing that you can say them in the local language.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Get fed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Besides gaining your respect and admiration, do you know what else will get you being able to order at a restaurant in the native language? Good food! So, instead of just pointing at meal on the menu and hoping for the best, learn a little about the names of the cuisine of the country your living in or visiting. After all, isn\u2019t part of traveling and experiencing other cultures being able to sample some of their delicious food?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Introduce yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In almost every foreign language class that you\u2019ll ever take, you\u2019re going to start with the basic \u201cWhat\u2019s your name and where do you come from?\u201d. Do you know why that is? It\u2019s because, no matter where you travel, this is the easiest way to launch a conversation with a local. Locals really appreciate and respect a foreigner who has gone out of their way to learn a little bit of their language. As a result, they see it as you are also returning that respect to them. What can better your travel experience more than that?<\/p>\n
