If you are going to visit a foreign country where people can not speak English at all, what should you do?
1. Do you try to learn some sentences in the local language of that country?
If so, how many sentences do you plan to learn? and what are the most important sentences to you?
2. If not so, what other things you do?

Interesting question but how many sentences you learn by heart and speak, you may be in trouble when they reply you in their language. Thank God now there are many apps for translation can be used at such places
Hi Jasmine,
Yes, when we can't express ourselves by word, it's very hard and we can just use facial and body expressions to communicate with one another.
Thanks so much for your reply.
It is very important to learn about usual customs because this can prepare us to be more friendly with people and treat them respectfully.
Thanks a lot Dear friend for your comment.
Hi again AReality,
You mentioned " food " as important sentences you want to learn before going on a trip to a foreign country. Yes, it's very important to be able to speak about food. I read an interesting story about an Iranian who didn't know Chinese and traveling in China, you know the food in China is too spicy to eat for Iranians, and that man couldn't eat spicy food. So he had to eat just boiled eggs for three days but fortunately he is so lucky and found an Iranian man who could speak Chinese and ordered non- spicy food for him.
Yes, you are so clever, your discussions show that. I thought a lot to reply to them.
Hi Tom,
I think to use a phrasebook is interesting ,useful and cheap but it is a bit hard and time consuming.
Thanks for your reply
what a point !
well actualy i have never thought about it but i think the first thing which i will do is finding a compatriot and if i couldn't i will try to conect with someone who could speak english at least.
In each situation we need some special sentences like shoping working doing sports etc
Learning how to Greet is the most important topic
we need it before any thing
Hi Jan,
It's very difficult to find a compatriot but if we'll be able to find one, it's very helpful.
Thanks for your reply.
SABA DEAR
i dont think i ii go to countries where people wont be able to get me cuz it must be so hard
as we all know the most available lang in nowadays is eng ,likewise is that revealed reason i m learning eng for to communicate with other people all around the world
2 month ago i went to Iran in ur country there people dont know eng so much u know this , & i dunno persian only some simple words i got from friends here like a do set daram , baba , ab , azizam or etc lol
dont think they r so useful to express my feelings in other country but fortunatelly in Iran there r a lot people know Azerbaijani lang
so i didnt have any difficulty to manage my condition
but if i would be a buisness woman or boss or something related which i would have a necessary circumstances for work as a going other countries where people cant speak eng lot i would take a native translator with me , imao there is no other perfect solution for to rid from hard condition in alien place
10x u !
Hi Sera Azizam,
As you said many people in Iran speak your language Azerbaijani, about one third , I'm very glad you haven't problem for communicating Iranians,
Your choice to take a native translator is the best and the most convenient way, but it is the most expensive too.
Thanks for your reply
Dooset daram :)
