My Daughter had a project in school and while we did research for it.. I decided hey this would be interesting information to share so here it goes.
Even if your native language is English, we bet that the problem of a language barrier is familiar to you.
Meeting new people is always exciting, especially foreigners. But sometimes such communication results in a kind of gesture language.
In fact, learning foreign languages is not only about traveling. Scientists have proved that it is one of the best ways to develop thinking abilities and to keep your mind always in a good form.
Of course, learning a foreign language is not an easy task at all. Especially when it comes to fluent speaking. But at least the knowledge of some typical words and phrases can broaden your horizons and help you while travelling abroad.
If you are an experienced traveller or simply fond of linguistics, you probably know how to say most popular words like “hello” or “thank you” in at least 5 languages. But what about surprising your next foreign friend with a longer phrase?
