Intro
There’s connecting with people on a human level despite not sharing a language. With body language, patience and a high degree of courteousness, you can relay enough information to determine where you’re going and have fun getting there. At the end of the day, you just have to try your best with your hands, technology and the local words you pick up along the way.
For further advice on traveling without knowing the language, please see the accompanying resource.
