I know, I know... everyone speaks English (or should, right?). But I've been wondering how important it really is to speak the local language when we travel. I’ve had some experiences where knowing a few phrases helped, and other times where it didn’t seem to matter at all. What’s been your experience? Do you think speaking the local language enhances your travel experience, or can you get by without it? Let’s discuss!
 
You're spot on! Speaking the local language can definitely enhance your experience, even if it's just a few key phrases. It can help you connect with locals on a deeper level and often leads to more authentic experiences. I once learned how to say 'thank you' and 'please' in a few languages, and it opened doors to conversations I wouldn't have had otherwise. Have you found specific phrases that made a difference during your travels? I'm curious to hear your stories!
