What if a person wants to travel abroad and doesn't know a foreign language?

As a person who often goes abroad, Tiao Tiao feels that language is by no means the main obstacle to travel! Jumping English, that is, Band 4, with a low score, floats across levels, but you can still have a good time abroad ~ Next, according to your own experience abroad, let's analyze the language problems we may encounter abroad and their solutions! 1. When traveling abroad, communication will generally encounter the following three situations: 1. Travel to foreign language countries with a large number of Chinese (Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc.). Travel to these countries without worrying about language problems. There are so many people in China, and most of them can speak Chinese, so communication is completely barrier-free! When jumping to travel, I almost wondered if I was out of a fake country. Travel to countries with high English penetration (Britain, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, etc.). It should be enough to download a translation software in advance to travel to these places. After all, the accuracy of Chinese-English translation of translation software is not bad now. But if you know a little English like jumping, you can basically cope with the whole trip by practicing oral English on a surprise trip, watching American dramas to improve your listening, and adding some body language to your communication. Travel to countries with low English penetration (Russia, Spain, Italy, France, etc. These places are all non-English speaking countries, and not many people can speak English and not many people can speak Chinese. You must download the translation software on your mobile phone in advance. Friends with sufficient budget can make an appointment with a local tour guide to do translation, which will make them more enjoyable. If you don't know a foreign language when traveling abroad, what are the common ways to deal with it? 1, before you go out, fill in common simple words such as asking the price and asking for directions, at least you won't be speechless. There is a lot of information on the internet, which can be found by searching for "xx words commonly used in tourism", so I won't go into details here ~ 2. Copy the places you want to go or things you want to buy in advance, especially the hotel address! When you get lost or take a taxi, show the notebook to the other party directly, and the other party will understand it at once ~ 3. Learn some easy-to-understand body language. For example, in the United States, the waiter holds the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of his right hand in the air or writes with the other hand, which is to gently remind you that it is time to pay the bill after dinner! 4. Download the translation software in advance. Most of the current mobile phone translation software supports offline/voice/picture translation, which can be used even if there is no Internet abroad, which is more than enough for traveling abroad. Tiao compares four translation softwares used by many people in the market: it is found that Google and Youdao have overwhelming advantages in the number of translation languages, and the accuracy of translation has always been widely praised. I recommend that everyone use ~ 5. Find a local guide to show you around online. At present, the tour guide booking websites with rich tour guide resources and a large number of users include Maruko Earth and eight little pigs. However, Tiao Tiao thinks that the price of local chaperones is a bit expensive, ranging from at least 300 yuan/day to several thousand per day. It's not worthwhile to travel alone. 6. Find a local tourist center. Many famous scenic spots will have tourist centers, and the staff's foreign language level is also good. You can ask the staff inside if you have any questions. For example, if you go to Korea before jumping off a building, you can choose the consulting service of China, Japan, Korea and Britain, which is very thoughtful. To sum up, Tiaotiao thinks that in foreign countries, the level of foreign languages is not enough, and body language and translation language are combined. Language is really not a problem. I think I am qualified to answer this question well. I am an old man who has retired for eight years. Last August, I invited a few friends to Malaysia, which opened the whole world. So it got out of hand. Due to time conflicts, personal preferences, costs and other issues, a lot of energy is not well coordinated. So I announced that I would travel alone. In the past year and a half, I have visited more than ten countries and dozens of foreign cities. Of course, there are all kinds of inconveniences, hardships, sadness, loneliness and helplessness. But in general, there are gains and losses. In fact, there is nothing to lose, but I am still very fragile. Travel is nothing more than eating, living and playing. But many people, including my wife, are also worried. What if the language doesn't work? Let me introduce my situation first. Before I retired, I was engaged in technical and production management work in the machinery industry. So the computer can be used skillfully, and there is no problem with the mobile phone. There is no problem using the next suitable APP. You don't understand foreign languages. Know letters at most. And Sao Rui, Goodcat Ning, hello ... First of all, I think most people have the virtue of helping the weak. If someone deceives you on purpose. I can't help it I have a bad personality. In fact, traveling in dozens of cities abroad really didn't encounter many unpleasant things. Let's talk about how to eat, live and play in the local area without knowing the local language. Eating comes first. Go to local supermarkets and convenience stores, clearly mark the price and be honest. What do you like? Pay at the marked price. Don't talk. Or go to a small shop where local people eat. I ate something wrong today. Come back right away or tomorrow. You got it? It's not expensive anyway. More formal hotels have menus, and many hotels in Southeast Asian countries have Chinese menus, so it is not recommended to go. There are many people cheating people. The locals eat well. It doesn't matter if you can't read the menu. Most translation software has the function of menu photo translation. Or you can go directly to the kitchen and point to the price with the computer. The problem of accommodation is more troublesome. If the itinerary is reasonable and the strategy is well done, you can make a reservation at home, when and where to pick up the plane. Convenient. It's normal to have an accident during a trip. That is to ask the local people for help. Without the ability of direct dialogue, there is definitely no problem in using translation software. If you can't use translation software, you need to prepare more help cards marked in Chinese before going abroad. Marking in Chinese is to help you find what you need. For example, I need to go to the toilet, where is a hotel, please help me find a supermarket and so on. It will be very useful. Remember the name of the hotel when you stay. It doesn't matter if you can't remember Please remember which hotel card is in the hotel lobby. You can touch it back wherever you go. Go to the scenic spots according to the raiders plan, and remember to ask the hotel front desk to call a car. Very cheap. Or ask the hotel front desk to write down the bus route in the local language. It's helpful to show people when you get lost. At least let those who are willing to help you know where you come from and where you want to go. It's more fun, the scenic spots are clearly marked, and foreigners are also pitted. The price of foreigners is much higher, so I can't help it. Foreigners seem to get preferential treatment in China. There is nothing wrong with entering a scenic spot and going to a crowded place. If the mobile phone is dead, the hotel business card is dropped, the money is dropped, it is dark, you are lost, the prepared card is dropped or there is no suitable expression, then there is only one trick. Please write the phone number of the local embassy on your underwear in advance. I hope this article will help you and your friends who are willing to travel abroad. I have accumulated experience in traveling alone in dozens of cities in more than ten countries abroad, and I can communicate with you no matter what problems I encounter. Thank you for reading. If you don't know a foreign language, the simplest and easiest way to travel abroad alone is to travel with a group. Traveling with a group saves worry, time, effort and money. Don't worry about food, shelter and transportation. With a Chinese tour guide leading the team to explain, you just need to go sightseeing with the team to various tourist attractions. Traveling with a group is generally less expensive than free travel, and you also go to popular famous classic attractions, so the personal safety of traveling with a group will be more guaranteed. The tour route and time of group tour are fixed, and there are many scenic spots, but the depth is not enough, so it is basically a cursory tour here. I want to freely choose tourist attractions according to my own preferences and experience exotic customs more deeply. Free travel is more suitable. However, it is really difficult for a person to choose to travel freely in a strange country without knowing a foreign language, but as long as we make full and comprehensive preparations before departure, we can also travel. Universal network can solve many problems. First, rent a mobile WI-FI online, and then pick it up at the airport. With the internet, it is much more convenient to go out. When you arrive at your destination, you can use the satellite map to search tourist attractions, hotels, restaurants, bus stops and so on at a glance. When we arrive at go on road trip, we rely on mobile WI-FI, which can accurately and conveniently take us where we want. Modern scientific and technological products can also help people who don't know foreign languages to travel abroad. Phonetic translator can help you directly translate Chinese into foreign languages for foreigners, which can basically meet the basic communication needs. You can also download some translation software for voice translation on the Internet. In addition, a very practical and stupid method is to write down the commonly used spoken Chinese and foreign languages such as airport entry, customs clearance, hotels, asking for directions, and taking a bus, and add gestures to basically solve the problem of language communication. There is another way for a person to travel abroad, which is the combination of individual travel and group travel. The plane flies back and forth by itself. In foreign countries, where transportation is convenient and all kinds of information are developed, you can choose to travel freely. But if you want to go to some places with inconvenient transportation, you can choose to join a group tour abroad. Popular tourist cities abroad generally have overseas Chinese travel agencies. This combination tour can not only meet the needs of free travel and in-depth travel, but also solve the problem of not knowing foreign languages, and visit more places of interest more effectively and safely. Finally, once again, a person who travels abroad and doesn't know a foreign language must make full preparations for traveling, collect all kinds of information about the destination, go to major travel websites to read travel guides, learn from other people's travel experiences and lessons, and try to be fully prepared and know fairly well. Then we can happily embark on our personal journey with a brave heart and full of expectations and longings. Thanks for reading! If you want to travel abroad, "not knowing English" is really no longer an obstacle! You can use technology to complete language communication. The following are some commonly used softwares for my overseas travel: (1. As long as you download this app from your mobile phone, Google Translate can speak directly into it, and then it will automatically switch to English or other languages. Click "Read aloud", it can play the language. In the same way, when others answer you, you can also use this app to listen. Is it convenient? (2) If you have a little knowledge of English, you can use Youdao to express your meaning. It's good that everything we don't understand abroad is checked by him. And he can also translate the real scene, that is, if you put pictures in it, he can automatically recognize it and convert it into English! (3) Translation If the cost is sufficient, you can bring a translator. As long as he holds it in his hand, he can translate in real time, just like a portable translator! (4) When body language goes abroad, don't be ashamed because you can't speak English. In fact, in people's eyes, it is normal for you to be a foreigner and you will not laugh at you at all. On the contrary, some people are curious and want to talk to you and help you! Therefore, if you don't understand the language, you can use body language, and the most important thing is to beat yourself! If a person can't speak a foreign language, traveling abroad is really not an obstacle. From my personal experience of traveling to Japan, it's really nothing if I can't speak Japanese. Because first of all, you can't speak Japanese or English, but many Japanese staff can speak Chinese. When I went through the customs at Kansai Airport, the airport staff could speak Chinese. In addition, many shopping stores will hire people from China to promote the consumption of tourists from China. In addition, the scenic spots in Japan are marked in Chinese, English, Korean and Japanese, so it will not be difficult to visit the scenic spots. Finally, there are really too many Japanese in China, which can be seen everywhere. It is also common to meet a person from China. If you have any difficulty in communicating with foreigners, you can ask someone from China! Finally, there is really no other way but to use translation software. When booking a plane ticket at Prince Furano Hotel, the waiter used translation tools to communicate. Finally, if you are really worried about going to a country that doesn't understand Chinese, you can also go to Singapore and Malaysia. Most people there can speak Chinese, so you don't have to worry about language barriers. It doesn't matter if you don't know a foreign language, it mainly depends on whether you have the courage to travel. Everything was scared away by such difficulties. Every time you go to a strange place, there are many unknown things to explore and discover. If you don't know a foreign language, you can download a translation app from Iflytek for simple communication. And our compatriots, foreigners can speak Chinese in any other country, so speaking a foreign language is not a problem. I hope it helps you! Good evening everyone. Today, I will answer the question of not knowing a foreign language when traveling abroad. When I was still studying at school, my English teacher always encouraged me with "learning ABC well and traveling around the world without fear", but I didn't realize the importance of foreign languages at that time, and I had to "skip classes" in English class. Nowadays, when traveling abroad, especially in English-speaking countries, listening to foreigners is just like listening to gobbledygook. Anyway, many opportunities to travel abroad in recent years have been rejected because of limited English ability. It is really difficult to communicate in a foreign language. But can't you go abroad without knowing a foreign language? The answer is definitely not. So I will choose to go to places popular with tourists in China, where I generally don't have to worry about my foreign language ability. For example, if you go to Malaysia, the front desk of the hotel where you stay will provide free Chinese tour guide profiles, and one can solve the travel guide. In some scenic spots in Korea, free guidebooks in various languages will be posted at the ticket office, at least to give me a good understanding of the scenic spots. Solve the problem of travel, but also solve the link of communication with people. Always communicate when you go out for a taxi and ask for directions. Everyone has a mobile phone now. It is recommended to install a "Google Translate" APP on your mobile phone before going abroad. It is very useful. It has a function that you can convert speech into text in real time. For example, if you speak Chinese, you should immediately translate it into English. As long as you speak a paragraph of Chinese into your mobile phone, you will immediately see the translated English on your mobile phone screen, and vice versa. Of course, this APP needs wireless network support. It is recommended to rent a WIFI device before going abroad. You can use it directly when you go abroad, and you can also support the query of "Google Maps", which is very helpful for traveling abroad. I hope my answer can help you. I backpacked through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Italy, France, Germany, Czech Republic and other countries, and I was troubled by this problem before traveling. I especially want to share my feelings and opinions: English is not a necessary condition for traveling abroad. I once saw a foreign news: two foreign old people did not speak a word of English, but they traveled all over the world. I always thought this kind of thing was legendary until I met a traveler with an English level of about 0 in Thailand. Look, he can't even express Arabic numerals in English. I am convinced that the language barrier really won't be a shackle that limits your steps. Basic English is enough. In fact, the basic level of English is enough to meet most of the basic needs of your travel and life abroad. This basic level of English refers to the level we have achieved through school education, and most people are satisfied. I'm sure you can't speak English at all, at least you learned it at school. When my friends heard that I was traveling abroad, they suspected that my English was very good. Xiaomi will tell the truth every time. I am the kind of person who passed the Band 4 passing line after several exams. When I volunteered at a farm in a village in northeast Thailand, I met some New Zealand friends and talked with my two sisters. I won't massage my aunt, but I don't know what the English word for aunt is. So I said: girls always come once a month, and those days are uncomfortable. So they can easily guess. In addition, on the journey, you will find that body language is very powerful. When it is difficult to express, it is much more convenient to use body language than to look up a mobile phone translation dictionary. Hello! If you don't know a foreign language, I'll give you some advice: The first way is to join a group. In this way, even if you don't know a foreign language, tour guides and tour leaders can help solve the problems encountered during the trip. The second way is to travel with friends who know foreign languages. Everyone can divide the work, they help communicate, and then you can help do some other things. Everyone has a division of labor, so that friends who don't understand the language won't feel trouble. The third method, I have seen many couples or friends download a simultaneous interpretation on their mobile phones when they can't communicate. I tried a similar APP, which was not very convenient. Every time you communicate, you should first take out your mobile phone (after all, some countries are not very safe, so it is impossible to keep it in your hand all the time), quickly find the APP, and then enter what you want to say. The problem of not knowing the language is not knowing whether the meaning of the translation is correct. When I try, the other person always frowns, and it takes several times to understand what I want to say. In general, if you don't understand the local language and can't communicate, everyone will be afraid and panic. Actually, don't worry. Many foreigners are friendly. Even if they don't understand the language, they will try body language and look for other ways to help. I once met a southern elder sister who didn't know English on the bullet train and helped foreigners find a seat smoothly. Also, which country has no China people now? Don't worry.
