As a traveler, one of the best things you can do is make yourself familiar with the different languages that you’re likely to encounter on your journeys. And one of the most useful languages to invest some time and effort in is Spanish, which is spoken as an official national language in 20 countries worldwide, many of which are very popular with tourists. So to help you out, we’ve gathered some of the most useful Spanish phrases for travelers. Check them out below.

Hello – Hola
Good morning/day – Buenos días
Yes –
No – No
Thank you – Gracias
Please – Por favor
Goodbye – Adiós
Good night – Buenas noches
See you soon! – ¡Hasta pronto!
Where is the bathroom? – Dónde está el baño?
I don’t understand – Yo no entiendo
Do you speak English? – ¿Habla inglés?
Excuse me – Disculpe
The bill, please – La cuenta, por favor
I would like – Quisiera
Can you help me? – ¿Puede ayudarme?

So we recommend memorizing these before your next trip.

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.

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.

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.

If you know Spanish, you might be interested in going to Spain to talk to locals and practice. While this will work out great for you in most places, especially Madrid, if you want to venture out to other regions you might not be in such good luck.

Although everyone in Spain speaks Spanish, you won’t necessarily hear them speaking it out on the street or in cafes. This is because there are many other official and unofficial languages in Spain, some that couldn’t be farther from Spanish.

For example, in Basque Country and parts of Navarre Basque is spoken, called Euskera in their native tongue. But, not even just one version of Euskera is spoken!

Throughout the regions, there is variation in many of the words so even then it can be difficult.

Caminar es de las cosas que mas me gusta hacer en la vida. Hace años cuando me enteré sobre este camino, no dude ni un solo minuto en hacerlo algún día. Mis expectativas siempre fueron muy altas, y es increíble como esas expectativas fueron superadas. Decidir hacer esto sola fue muy importante. Siendo una persona tímida, estoy impresionada de todas las personas que conocí, personas de todas las edades, nacionalidades, culturas. Con ellos aprendí todos los días algo nuevo. También tuve que aprender a convivir con ellos porque en cada pueblo tuve que compartir baños, piezas, cocina y mesa con estas personas. Si me preguntan, el camino es duro. Pero cualquiera lo puede hacer, no se necesita una condición física, solamente se necesita la voluntad. Hay días buenos y hay días no tan buenos, días que tienen sentido y otros no. Pero al final, creo que es una experiencia que va a marcar mi vida por siempre. También aprendí mucho de mi cuerpo. Después de una semana, ya sabía cuando pasaban 5, 10, 20, 30 kms según las sensaciones, cansancio y dolores que se sienten caminando. Pero lo lindo es que siempre que estas cansado o con ganas de rendirte, llega alguien y te dice “buen camino”. Y eso nuevamente te da las fuerzas para seguir caminando. Agradezco todo lo que pase y vivi en este camino. Estoy inmensamente feliz. #santiagodecompostela #caminodesantiago

If you go across to country to the northwest region called Galicia, you can enjoy amazing seafood and hear their native tongue, Galician, or Galego.

In newer cities like Vigo, you won’t find it as often, but in the popular tourist town of Santiago de Compostela, you will find almost everyone exclusively speaking in Galego.

So make sure before you visit you brush up on tour Spanish and try to learn some basics of the other languages as well!
