Should you Learn Spanish for your trip? 🤔
In our opinion, the answer is YES, you should learn SOME Spanish before your trip.
It often comes as a surprise to many backpackers how little english is spoken in some Latin American countries.
Do yourself a favour and pick up some basics!
Not only is it respectful to the locals, but it will also make your life SO much easier. Your experience out there will transform with some spanish, trust us!
It’s good to think about the situations you’re going to be in, and the Spanish you’re going to need for that.
In this carousel we give you the basics for the following:
1️⃣ Greetings
2️⃣ Being polite
3️⃣ Directions
4️⃣ At a restaurant/cafe
5️⃣ Shopping
6️⃣ Safety & security
👉 When you’re travelling, the more you practice these words and phrases, the easier it’ll become!
📲 Consider writing a note on your phone with the most common ones, so you can refer back to them.
💡💡 TOP TIP: Did you know you can download a whole language onto google translate? That way if you lose signal or don’t have internet, you can still use the translator app (this can really come in handy!).
FUN FACT: Our founder Alfie can speak 5 languages! Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and English. How insane is that?!
