Important tips to communicate while travelling

 It can be difficult at first to communicate when you don't know the local language's slang. But with enough practice, it'll be some of the most enjoyable things you do on your trip. Seriously. You'll be astonished at how simple it is to communicate with just a few words, a huge smile, and hand motions. You'll be more resourceful, self-assured, patient, and a better communicator, and most importantly, once you return home, you'll dazzle your loved ones with your newly acquired mastery of charades. Read on for our top five recommendations to get you ready for communicating with limited language skills.

Learn the basics

Even though you've already heard it a million times, learning the words "hello," "yes," "no," "please," and "thank you" can make a big difference. People will be grateful that you took the time to learn a few new terms because it demonstrates your effort. And it's okay if you pronounce anything incorrectly; in fact, it's frequently a positive thing. They'll laugh with you, correct you when you mispronounce anything, and you'll subconsciously bond if you do!

Be sure to give someone a big thumbs up if they attempt to speak a little English back to you.

Wave and smile.

Smiles are the best policy. Go in with a huge smile when attempting to interact with someone in a foreign language. It quickly conveys that you are trying to be nice, lightens the situation organically, and puts the other person at ease. To make your point, use your hands, feet, and even elbows.

Keep that smile till the helmet is on even if things get difficult and you find it difficult to communicate your ideas; remember, it's not their fault you don't know their language.

Pen and paper

A small notebook and a pencil are always useful to keep in your jacket pocket for making notes. The majority of the time, it's also really entertaining since, the further away you are from the other person, the more eager they will be to draw something in response. A stick can also be used in the sand. Don't worry if you don't ride a motorcycle. The high-tech section is about to begin, Picasso.

It's just a little fun, so don't worry about the specifics. Use this trick only on adults; if you give it to a child, you'll (maybe) get it back 20 minutes later with every page filled with images of dogs, cats, footballs, and most likely a crude caricature of yourself.

Photographs

Pictures This is a tiny gem. Take pictures of all the minor details you might need to express on your phone, and if you get stuck, just show them. For instance, cuisine you enjoy, a photo of a (clean) restroom, a hotel room, a campsite, a mechanic, water, gasoline, or anything else you could require. Easy!

Make sure you don't accidentally scroll through anything you don't want them to view when browsing your phone's photo library—it can be unpleasant. Ahem.

Google Translate

Today, people all across the world use the Google Translate app. Utilize the offline functionality of the free software by first downloading the necessary nation language. You can even translate text while offline by holding your phone's camera over a text in a foreign language. Speaking into it in English will cause it to play in the appropriate language for you. The individual with whom you are speaking can then respond and translate it into English. Lovely. You won't believe how widely used this app is; we even encountered elderly women using it in the mountains of Tajikistan. Do not begin with the technologically based points 4 and 5. Speaking and using hand signals to communicate is enjoyable and will boost your confidence and communication abilities.
