Happy Day 2 of National Etiquette Week: Be a Citizen Diplomat! We’ve already
talked about getting a passport…Today, we’re going to encourage you to…
Learn
a language.
If you are traveling to another country, make a
concerted effort to learn some helpful phrases and make the effort to
communicate. It’s true that in most large cities, at least some amount of
English is spoken. But what if you travel to a smaller city? Even if you do
spend all of your time in an English-speaking space, your effort to learn the
local language will speak volumes about your consideration of others,
especially while you are a guest.
So, try your best. If you mess up a phrase, just
smile and laugh—that’s a language everybody speaks.
