]]>Basic Politeness
Polite gestures such as “please”, “thank you”, “excuse me”, “yes”, “no”, and the local greetings and farewells can go a long way. They show that you have basic respect for the people around you and will make it much easier to connect to the people at your destination. It’s also a good idea to see if there are any unforeseen politeness codes in that region that you should be aware of.
Restaurants and Shopping
If you’re in a touristy area, you’ll probably want to sample the local cuisine and buy souvenirs or at least window shop. Phrases such as “how much does this cost,” and “may I have that” are useful whenever you’re in a purchasing setting. In addition, at a restaurant, if you have dietary restrictions, be sure you know how to ask “does this have __” about specific dishes and how to express that you can’t eat certain foods.
Basic Necessities
Finally, there’s the basics that you’ve probably thought of yourself which you’ll find you’ll often need in day-to-day life. “Where’s the bathroom”, “Can you give me directions to__”, “I only speak English. Do you speak English?” and just in case of emergency, “I need help”. With these several simple base phrases, you should have an easier time getting around in your temporary home!

]]>But learning a language is very difficult, and it’s not always easy to know how best to go about it. Here are 4 top tips for learning a foreign language.
Immersion
The number one tip will always be to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. Listen to it, read it, and try and think in it as much as possible.
Podcasts and Music
A good way of doing this is to download podcasts and music in that language or listen to videos on YouTube. You can do this while you’re cooking, at the gym, or in the car. This will help to create a microclimate of that language around your daily life.
Post-its
A good trick to start thinking in another language is to stick notes on all of your household items that name these objects in a foreign language. This will help you to automatically respond to your everyday environment within your chosen language.

]]>If you want to learn a language that will help you communicate globally, here are your top options.
English
The most widely-spoken language in the world, with nearly 1.3 billion people around the world (nearly 17% of Earth’s population) speaking English as a first or second language. While it will obviously help you to communicate in places like the UK and the United States, its role as a global lingua franca will help you communicate with others around the world.

¿Hablas español? Thanks to a powerful empire hundreds of years ago, the country of Spain spread its native language across the Americas and into some parts of Asia and Africa. Mexico, Colombia, and Spain are now the most populated countries to speak this language.
French
The French language also has a large global expanse due to its colonial history. The native language of the world’s most-visited country, France, is also spoken throughout the Middle East and Africa to this day.
Mandarin Chinese
While Chinese might be contained to one geographical area in Asia, the sheer number of speakers of this language make it very useful for traveling. China is the world’s biggest country, and you’ll also find its language spoken in places like Taiwan and Malaysia.

]]>However, we recommend at least learning a few phrases in a country’s native language if you are set to travel there. Not only does it show that you are interested in the place’s culture, but it also demonstrates respect and friendliness. Commit yourself to at least learning these phrases in the language of whatever place you are going to travel to!
“Hello!”
The simplest world to learn in any language is “hello,” so you should take the time to learn how to at least greet someone in their native tongue. This will endear you to waiters and waitresses, shopkeepers, and people that you meet passing on the street.
“Goodbye!”
If you have learned how to say “hello” in a language, why not learn how to say “goodbye?” While the majority of your conversation with someone might take place in English, if you at least greet yourself and bid farewell in their native tongue, you will score major points.
“Do you speak English?”
Not all people that you come across will speak English while traveling, which is why it’s important to learn how to ask people if they speak English in their native language. That way, if a person doesn’t speak your language, they will not feel embarrassed or ashamed when asked if they can communicate in English.

]]>Fortunately, with the internet and phrase books, we can now learn some of the essentials in any language even if we don’t speak it. Here are the three phrases you should learn in the language of your next travel destination.
“Please” and “Thank You”
A little bit of politeness goes a long way in this world, and if you learn to say “please” and “thank you” in a country’s native language, it will go a long way in shops and restaurants.
“Hello!”
Even if you don’t speak a place’s language, knowing a greeting in their tongue is a great way to demonstrate your friendliness. Walking into a French shop and saying “Bonjour” is a lot more likely to elicit a smile than saying “Hello.”
“Sorry, I don’t speak _______.”
In general, the natives of a language are usually very understanding that not everyone speaks their tongue. You’ll really impress them if you can tell them that you aren’t able to speak their language in their tongue.
