"Consistency beats intensity every time. Studying for five hours one day and nothing for a week won’t get you far. Instead, aim for 30–60 minutes daily. Travelers can make this even more fun on the road: listen to a podcast on the train, label your hostel or Airbnb objects in your target language, or practice phrases while ordering street food. Small, daily interactions add up quickly."
"The best part of traveling can often be those chance encounters on the road that lead to you gaining a new friend, who might be a local from the country you’re visiting or another fellow foreigner who’s exploring the same places as you by coincidence."
"Learning a foreign language is often overlooked by travelers. Many people crave fun adventures and unique experiences abroad but resist learning the local tongue, believing that using their native language such as English or using a translation application will be sufficient."
