That’s always a great moment – when you utter a word you’ve just learned in a foreign language and the other person goes on with a few sentences you can’t understand. Followed by the awkward, “I don’t know the language” and subsequent, “it’s ok look and smile”.

It’s truely great to learn a few local language but sometimes it’s more fun than useful. It’s useful to connect with the local in a friendly manner but it’s not neccessary useful to communicate with the locals. I experienced that when I was in Italy and tried the fun to ask ‘Quanta Costa?’ to the stall. He then thought I’m a local and answered me with language that I could not understand further! Finally we have to use universal finger language…

Knowing a few words makes it so much easier to piece together some decent conversations or at least find the bathroom. I wonder what the universal ‘pee’ sign would be…? Pointing from your crotch to the ground seems to be one I’ve used and come across several times.

Hey great list. This should be some sort of a requirement before entering a country. lol. Learning Hello, Good Bye, Thank You, and Please is a must. I try to pick up a few others like bathroom, this, that, where, and whatever other people teach me. Hand and body movements by the way are a universal language. Use them wisely and you can nearly ask for anything. And they get a kick out of you trying to say bathroom with your hands lol.
