It isn’t always about the lankmarks.

So you plan to travel on vacation? But where? Paris? The Bahamas? Or maybe to Rio in Brazil? Where those can be a hell of great spot to start with but don’t ever consider enjoying your vacation to the max.? Ever wonder if you knew a few basics to the local language, how much it could change your whole vacation experience?
Chances are you don’t. But that’s ok, it’s nice to go on a vacation with your family or friends and only with your family or friends without mixing in with the locals, it can be done. But why not mix with the locals?
There are a whole bunch of interesting people you could meet in this world of 5 billion but sadly if you only speak english you are only allowed to speak to around 600 million of them. That’s like little over 10 percent of total population but I am sure you never thought it like that way, am I right?
Not saying that MUST AND HAVE TO learn a second language but at least take consideration in learning the basics, it would be useful to know… especially the one… spoken in the country you plan to visit. It’s all about the little things like knowning how to say “Where’s the bathroom” could spell the difference between finding it or losing it all over inside your pants.
