Foreign Language Software
Speaking the local language goes far in removing prejudices and misconceptions that people may have about the tourists and travelers who visit their countries. It shows a sensitivity and exploration of their culture and endears travelers to the locals in ways that a brash “does anyone speak Rosetta English around here?” will never accomplish. It opens up opportunities for authentic interaction with the locals, shopping in local bazaars and markets, and the possibility of staying with local families and helping their communities. Often, speaking or attempting to speak the local language will even get you a cheaper price on your lodging or market purchases
