How Travel Enhances Language Learning
Traveling will boost your desire and curiosity to learn a foreign language. It will give you a chance to engage with the language and culture of the natives of the destination you choose to visit.
A Chance to Experience the Destination like a Local
When you pack your bags to visit a country you aren’t familiar with, always consider learning more than the basic phrases of the country.
You won’t confine yourself to the typical “tourist” places with English menus
Learning the local language will help you find the best transport route in a new city rather than being sent around in circles.
Once you know how to converse with the locals, you’ll be able to whizz around feeling like a local, not a tourist.
Fear of Being Referred to as a Rude Tourist by Locals
Once you travel to a country or city and make an effort to speak their local language, even the basic phrases such as “thank you,” “please,” and “hello,” will impress the locals and compel them to welcome you warmly.
That’s because you show respect and appreciation for their culture. Locals welcome visitors who make an effort to learn their language.
Assurance of Safety
Once you are familiar with the environment you are visiting, chances of you feeling safe and secure are high.
If you visit a place full of local language, signs, and accent, chances of being a robbery victim are high since you appear lost.
If you can confidently converse with locals, you’ll avoid being pick-pocketed.
Parting Shot
Traveling is such a great way to get a chance to learn a new language, that is, if you travel to different destinations away from your home.
