Are you traveling to a new and foreign land with an unfamiliar language? Perhaps you already have a foundation in the language but need to polish your skills. No matter your goal, here are the best language-learning apps you can use before your next vacation.

Memrise

Rosetta Stone

No matter your level, this language learning program provides you with all the materials you need to learn from scratch. What’s more, Rosetta Stone breaks down your course into manageable, bite-sized lessons each day while allowing you to progress at your own pace.

Babbel

One of the biggest barriers that sometimes puts people off when it comes to traveling abroad is their lack of knowledge of the language that is spoken in the travel destination that they’re considering.

While it isn’t necessary to know a language fluently in order to travel to a place where it’s spoken, just knowing a few words and target phrases can help make your life easier and your travel experience more enjoyable.

No one is expecting you to become Cervantes if you travel to Madrid or to speak like Charles de Gaulle on your next trip to Paris, but while this might be impossible, learning a little goes a long way.

Polite expressions such as please and thank you are a big help and might score you extra points with shopkeepers and restaurant owners. Learning other basic things such as yes, no, and greetings are another great way to help you blend in a bit and endear you to the locals.

It will become apparent eventually that you aren’t a fluent speaker of the language of the place that you are visiting, but that doesn’t matter! Just a little bit of effort can go a long way and help open doors for you in your travels that you might not have had before.

So, consider dedicating just a few hours of study to the language of the place that you want to visit if you want to make the most out of your trip abroad!

Traveling is one of the best ways to gain new experiences and to meet new cultures. Depending on where you live, sometimes you don’t have to travel far to find yourself in a completely new place, and learning the language spoken where you’re going can open many new opportunities. Here’s how it can help.

Active Travel

When you know the language, it’s easy to interact with the locals and travel more actively and sustainably. People will look at you differently and even be more friendly, and it can be much easier to get around when you can ask for directions at any moment.

Make New Friends

When you know the language, it can be much easier to communicate with the people you meet which increases your chance of making new friends and connections to last you a lifetime. They can teach you about their country and you can tell them about the place you come from, and you can help each other with the language barriers.

Confidence

Getting out of your comfort zone can be difficult at first, but it ultimately makes you more confident. You’ll have many exciting stories and you’ll develop as a person, all of which will boost your confidence.

As the COVID-19 pandemic confines many of us to our home towns, it is more and more difficult to get our travel fix. That said, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that learning a language could be a great way to activate similar travel experiences but from the comfort of your own home. Here are 3 perks to learning a language in lockdown.

Novelty

When you travel, you are constantly exposed to new and exciting experiences. This can become addictive and is one of the reasons many of us love to travel. Learning a language can have a similar effect. The novel sound, feel and world of the language can simulate some of those feelings.

Adventure

Learning a language is like taking an adventure into another culture’s mind. We can get this from traveling to the country, but we can also do it by immersing ourselves in the language.

Secures Future Travel

During lockdown, it can be a good idea to start planning future trips for after the pandemic. Learning the language of the culture you want to visit will prepare you for that journey, allows you to already start living it, and will enrich your future experience.

Learning a foreign language is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in other cultures. They are perhaps the only way to really understand the way another culture thinks, feels, and sees the world.

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.

Patience

And finally, one thing you cannot do without is patience. Learning another language takes time, effort, and persistence. As long as you follow these top tips and don’t give up, you will achieve your language learning goals.

It would be hard to travel without being able to communicate with those who we encounter, wouldn’t it? Thousands of languages are spoken all over the world, and travelers that leave their native lands to go to visit other countries will find that knowing a second language or two is very helpful.

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.

Spanish

¿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.

For those of us who know the English language, traveling is a whole lot easier. Aside from being the native tongue of nearly over 400 million people, it is also the world’s lingua franca and most widely-spoken second language.

However, it’s good to move beyond your own borders, if possible, and learn other languages to help you communicate while traveling. Here are three other languages that are especially useful for travelers.

Spanish

Spanish is a great language to learn, opening up the doors to a whole host of fascinating countries like Spain, Colombia, and Mexico. The language of Cervantes has almost 500 million native speakers (more than English!) and is one of the easiest languages for English speakers to learn.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7J-DF-iD6S/

French

Parlez-vous français? Another Romance language that is super useful for those who love to travel is French. Aside from endearing yourself to surly Parisian shopkeepers, you will also find yourself able to communicate with a wide variety of Africans, Europeans, and even some North Americans (hello, Quebec!) with French.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B22H7o1iuKM/

Arabic

Arabic is a difficult language to learn, but knowledge of this Semitic language will open up all kinds of doors for you. Spoken all over North Africa and in the Middle East, knowledge of Arabic is a huge tool for travel.
