Don't let language barriers keep you from exploring new places. Most people recognize and appreciate any sincere attempt to connect with them in their language, and sometimes your effort alone can spark one of those special moments when we recognize each other's shared humanity. Communicating when you share no real language in common can also be a fun chance to challenge your creativity. Remember to speak slowly, clearly, with carefully chosen words, remove slang terms, keep your message simple, and use internationally understood words (ex: holiday instead of vacation) #ricksteveseurope #traveltips #traveltip #ricksteves
