Learning a few phrases is not going to help you with the language barrier. Suggestion to become fluent enough for conversation before visiting a foreign country is just absurd lol

It's clear that ppl in this thread have never attempted to learn a foreign language as an adult huh

    And they’ve probably never travelled outside of English speaking counties.

    I’d have to be a genius to speak the language of every country I’ve travelled to, and that’s ignoring the countries that have several distinct and active languages (looking at you, Austria…)
