Planning to travel to France, Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. Which language is most worth practising?
Our take
Planning a trip to France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy is an exciting adventure! While English is widely spoken in these countries, learning a few key phrases can enhance your experience and help you connect with locals. Instead of overwhelming yourself with four different languages, consider focusing on one—French or Italian might be the most beneficial, given their cultural richness. Alternatively, learning essential phrases in all four languages can show your enthusiasm and respect.
I've been told I don't *need* to know any other languages other than English but I've never travelled to a non-English speaking country before (I'm Australian and I've only been to New Zealand and Canada), so I want to have at least some words or phrases I know before I go. The trouble is, I'm going to four different countries with different languages.
Am I better off learning key phrases in all four languages? Or should I focus on one? If only one, which one? And if I'm better off learning a few phrases in each, what phrases should I try to learn?
