Before traveling to a foreign country, should you learn the language?
It really depends where you're going. If English is not widely spoken, then it's good to know basic words to get you around. We traveled around Asia and it was difficult to get around in Tokyo and Shanghai without learning the basic words. Always carry your hotel's card written in their script. Digital translators are handy too, so are charade skills
