replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 I’ve always tried & failed badly at learning a language. I’m somewhat drawn to the idea of spending an extended time in a Spanish-speaking country to try desperately to pick more up! #pttravel

A6 #PTTravel Talk to people ... or' at least communicate with them, I once had a great conversation with a Portuguese farmer ... conducted mainly in sign language and 'pidgin-Spanish'!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6 Trust logic. And always ask other travellers for advice if there is something specific you’re worried about. Lots of people have great recommendations #pttravel
