Vacation to the foreign tourist places is fun. However, sometimes a language barrier when traveling, especially if the country's international community can not speak English or language.
But do not worry, here are some ways to overcome language barriers while on vacation:
Mastered a few local words
You can not learn Chinese language fluently for a vacation to China is not it?
However, at least to facilitate, learn some important words in that language, for example, "Where?" "How do I get there?" and also do not forget to remember the words like "hello" "sorry" and "thank you" in the local language.
Use the best technology
Currently, many mobile phones or smartphones that provide language translator application. Use these applications as much as possible so it can be easier for you when on vacation.
Do a little research
Do a little research about the places you will visit. Not only is the resort, but also the culture and daily life of local residents. This makes it easy to mingle with the locals and minimize the language barrier in communicating.
Use body language
If the language barrier still blocks, using body language can be one solution. Do it clearly, but still polite to be easily understood by local residents.
Smile!
When trying to speak a foreign language, or language of the body but also does not work, try just smiling. People who become the other person will understand slowly and appreciate your efforts.
