]]> Let’s face it: if you speak English, you can get by while traveling almost anywhere in the world. The English language has become the world’s lingua franca, and a huge number of people on the planet can at least get by in the language of Shakespeare.

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.

]]> Tourism to hallowed, solemn sites has been increasing in recent years. Natural human curiosity related to discovering places that have a sordid or tragic history leads many of us to plan visits to places where authentic tragedies and disasters have happened.

It is very important to be respectful when visiting this type of site. Here are some things to keep in mind about visiting these places tactfully.

Always Follow Posted Rules

Any place you visit is bound to have rules to help preserve and protect the site, and solemn places are no exception. It is extremely important to follow written rules so as to not show disrespect to the historical memory of the place.

Don’t Take Inappropriate Photographs

With the proliferation of mobile phones and inexpensive cameras, it is almost impossible to find a traveler that isn’t taking pictures while on vacation. However, when visiting solemn places, be sure to be prudent and keep that camera in your pocket when the situation calls for it.

Avoid Loud Conversation

Solemn sites like memorials are places for reflection and memory, and loud conversation can ruin this spirit. It’s okay to share thoughts with friends and family while doing somber visits, but don’t break into a loud conversation or laugh when it’s totally inappropriate.

]]> As much as we all might like to speak the foreign language of our travel destinations, it’s just not possible. Especially if you are a frequent traveler, you’ll often find yourself unable to speak the native language with people in the place you’re visiting.

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.
