Do you try to learn the language of the country you're planning to visit it before you visit that country? Even a little?
yes, i took french classes before i went to france. i think it's very selfish and ignorant to not learn the language of a place you're going to visit, even if it's just a few phrases.
I try to learn the basics.If I'm going there for extended stay, I try to learn it more extensively.If I'm going to live there I will try to learn as much as I can to be next-to-fluent before going.
No. I speak English. So should you.
>>14739In a couple of years that'll be: No. I speak Chinese. So should you.Mark these words, write them down, and send them to the papers for printing.
>>14742But what if I'm the printer?
>>14742Lol, fat chance
Basics also. Otherwise I feel like either a big fucking jerk or the poor idiot wondering why I'm getting a cigar instead of sugar in France.
i'd say it really depends on the place.like say former english colonies that have a different language. most of the people above the lowest class will already know english.
