How can you travel abroad without English?

Ways to travel abroad without English:

The first trick: translation software. If you are a young friend, or a middle-aged and old friend who uses mobile phones fluently, you can install translation software on your mobile phone yourself, or you can ask your relatives and friends. Recommend Google Translation. Not only can Chinese and English be translated into each other, but also Chinese can be translated into local languages. For example, if you buy a la carte at the local vegetable market, or set up a stall to buy some fruits, you can use this trick to communicate.

The second trick: learn simple spoken English and use "speaking" instead of "listening". In fact, most friends with poor English can speak without problems, but we are afraid that we can't understand what others say. If you can't improve your English, you can speak more by yourself and try to repeat what others mean. If you guess correctly, the other person will nod.

If you are wrong, the other person will repeat it in a slower way or tell you in another way.

In short, as long as you are thick-skinned and not afraid of making mistakes, it is still quite effective.

The third measure: do a good job in advance and reduce communication. If you are free, you must make your own strategy in advance. In the case that the strategy is detailed enough, in fact, going abroad can be completely dumb and there is no need to communicate with foreigners at all. You can find out in advance how to get to the airport, which bus to take and which alley the hotel is in.

Of course, this will reduce a lot of fun. I suggest you communicate with local residents as much as possible. Even if I am wrong, in retrospect, it will only be regarded as a very warm travel memory.

The fourth measure: contrast gestures. Yes, just like in variety shows, when you are not sure whether your English is correct, use body language quickly! Believe me, as long as your movements are natural and your expression is normal, it is not difficult for the other person to guess what you mean. For example, if you want to borrow a hair dryer from them in the hotel lobby, why not just draw your hand on your head?

The fifth measure: ask for help from others. Traveling abroad, accidents are inevitable. On some important occasions, communication should not be vague, such as seeing a doctor or buying medicine in a doctor's shop. If you buy the wrong medicine, it will be really troublesome.

In this case, it is suggested that you leave the phone number of the service staff who can speak Chinese at the front desk of the hotel. When you get to the hospital, let the front desk communicate in the local language on the phone for important things to avoid any big trouble.
