Do you find English very useful when traveling?

why while traveling ? It is usefull everYWHERE. For a small example here we communicate through english only. If do not know english we can not use mylot, omg. Net is the ocean of knowledge, which is in english. So there is many more benefits of english.

hi! english is very useful especially when travelling to different countries. unfortunately it is not a language shared by many locals (where english is not even the 2nd or 3rd language) unless it's the younger generation. it is still best and more convenient to learn the local tongue. adapting to a foreign environment is communicating in the local language, if you plan to stay for long periods. but i'm really grateful that english was taught in school. it helped me ease in when i worked in international projects and traveled in other countries. wow, europe. that must be exciting. goodluck there!

English has become to be a global language. Many countries set the English as the first foreign language. So when you travel around, you will see that many people can speak in English. And as a foreign language, English is not so difficult as other languages. I love China

Dear friend, English as for many in Asia is best one to communicate especially while traveling. I wished I could learn Spanish and French which also best to use in Western countries. Moreover this use of language really helps to reduce the gap in communication. I hope this would be known by every citizen of every country. May be as part of global language.I feel it is also easy to learn.

I have a friend who doesn't speak English and it is very hard for him to travel on his own, because he isn't able to buy train tickets, make hotel reservations, order food in a restaurant, ask for directions etc. He always takes a group to avoid the language problems. I understand that, because I think it is hard to travel on your own if you don't speak English. Sometimes the locals don't speak English and you can't avoid language problems completely "just" because you speak English, but it is still a big help. I have been in some situations where the staff didn't speak English at all, but I got help from other tourists who spoke English as well as the local language. Without English I wouldn't have been able to explain the situation and they wouldn't have been able to help me.

It is even useful in your own country. Thanks to the internet and some manuals. If I just imagine how many things I would have missed if I hadn't learn english (I'm still learning so don't be angry if you find some mistakes in my posts :D) and how often I would have paid someone to fix my computer problems then... but back to the topic: when you travel its very nice to speak english and have some english speaking people around. You can "talk" ;) with people who couldn't understand you otherwise. I remember a really funny group I met in Denmark a few years ago we were a japanese, a englishmen, two italians and two germans and we had some really cool days together just because everybody was able to speak english (more or less)

I guess it's safe to say that English is the universal language. It's very useful for me because I know almost all countries are trained to speak english. When I had a one month visit to UAE, I thought they all speak Arabic but I was so surprised they all speak fluent english. Made me inspire that I should study how to speak English very well, too.

I find that English can be useful to know, when traveling. I grew up in a household where two languages were spoken and I'm glad that English was one of them. It can certainly be helpful in a lot of different places.

Yeah, since it's an International language, if you want to travel to other country that didn't speak your language, then you need a language that someone else can speak of. Though I must say, it's better to learn a bit of native language of the place. In no one understand English, then you might end up with hand gestures and body languages.

Yes. English is very useful when travel to various countries. However the accent may be slightly different in different place. What is the language in your country. Do u have degree classes also in the same language? have a good day.

yes, it is definitely very useful when travelling. simply because English is a global language and it is not difficult to learn:) in what European country do you live now? good luck for your bachelor program.

In my point of view yes it's very helpful that's why its called as the "Universal Language" because it connects the world under one tongue that majority of people are fond of.

english can be accepted anywhere. helping us to advance.
