Tips for Traveling in Another Language


Listen Later

Traveling in another language can be intimidating for so many people.

I’ve had moments where some local is rattling off in Italian, Spanish, French or Turkish and I’m quite sure I’ve looked like a deer in the headlights.

How do you deal with this?

What are some tips to help you break down the language barrier?

Because, in my opinion, you shouldn’t let language get in the way of traveling to the places you really want to go.

So in this episode I’m going to offer up some tips for traveling in another language AND how to have fun with it.

Because I’m betting that these moments of “conversing” with a local will be some of your favorite travel memories.
