TravelTalk - top phrases for travelers
Because I travel a lot around the world and sometimes stay in a given place for a month, sometimes two or three, I don’t need to learn the language of the country in a way that would let me speak it fluently. I need polite phrases more. In most cases there are about 4–5 of them that keep repeating — greeting, thanking, saying goodbye. For example, I have never once in my life asked in a country where the train station is or what time it is. Those are examples of phrases that seem important, but in reality are not. So what phrases are important?

They are phrases related to repeated activities in a given country. That means shopping at a convenience store, visiting a restaurant, and buying at stalls. So greetings, can I pay by card, how much does it cost, and above all, thanking. The most important phrase of all is of course a smile, and it needs to be used as often as possible. People learn these basic phrases quite quickly because they keep repeating, but even so, especially at the beginning, I still find myself having to look up whether I am saying thank you or good day. That is why it occurred to me that it would be great to have a cheat sheet in my phone that would help me with that. And as a bonus to the cheat sheet, to have the option to learn a few more phrases that will hopefully bring a smile to someone’s face, for example a shop assistant, when I say a phrase that travelers do not use that often.
