5 Word you should learn when in a new country where you don’t speak the language:

  1. Please. Being polite in any language will get you a lot farther than you think. It is always important to learn how to say please, that way even as you muddle your way through asking for something, at least you were polite!
  2. Thank you. This goes along with please, but you should always say thank you! It’s a simple thing, but people really appreciate it, and it lets them know that you appreciate them putting up with your poor language skills 🙂
  3. Good morning/afternoon/evening. This way you can greet people! When you leave your hotel, when you enter a restaurant, or even passing someone on the street, it’s nice to be able to offer a friendly greeting, in their language! 
  4. Where is … This beginning to a sentence is essential when it comes to navigating through a foreign country. You won’t get very far if you don’t know how to ask people where the train station is, that statue you’ve been searching for, etc. Knowing thing will be a huge help in making transportation and directions go more smoothly!
  5. How much… For obvious reasons! Being able to ask how much something costs is important. Buying food at a market, you want to know how much to pay! Or when you hop into a taxi, asking how much it will cost you ahead of time can save you from getting ripped off when you get to your destination!
