How do you handle language barriers when traveling to a non-English speaking country

Sure! Here are three different ways to handle language barriers while traveling:

**Use Translation Apps**: I always download a translation app before my trip. It’s a lifesaver! I can type or even speak what I want to say, and it translates it for me. Plus, I try to learn a few basic phrases in the local language. It really helps break the ice!

**Body Language and Gestures**: When words fail, I just get a bit creative! I use a lot of gestures, point at things, and rely on facial expressions. It’s amazing how much you can communicate without actually speaking the language. People usually appreciate the effort!
