I've been reblogging too much lately but this is a good one.
I saw this on facebook and honestly yeah
Yet another reason travel can enrich you, even if it’s done virtually or by digital means.
Why trying to speak the local language when you’re travelling matters
It’s a matter of courtesy.
It shows you
a) recognize that not all countries speak your language and you respect their language and cultural identity
b) aren’t so arrogant or imperialistic as to expect them to speak your language when you don’t speak theirs
c) consider the other person’s comfort important and are putting their ease above your own (which is particularly important if you’re asking someone for a favour like directions or local tips; if they’re taking the time to help you the least you can do is try to give them the least amount of work possible)
Even if you totally butcher the language and they take pity on you and switch to your language, the fact that you even bothered to try makes a world of difference
It takes a lot more courage to try speaking a language you don’t know at all than speaking in one you’re vaguely familiar with, so if anything, the fact you suck at the language but put yourself out there anyway gains you extra points, not less.
