And literal translation just tickles my fantasy- one common thread can bring on a challenge to explain some of the simplest things! Which often leads to the best thing we can share as people- laughter! I find comfort in being in a common room at the hostel where sometimes 8 different languages are spoken!

It's a good idea to know a few regional words before you travel. Speaking "English" with others and listening to the different accents can be an adventure in and of itself. Sometimes you must "strain" to understand what a person's saying. It's a lot of fun and you can have a laugh. Thanks for the tip! It’s a good idea to know a few regional words before you travel.

I love picking up regional terms when I travel. I still say "no worries" from traveling in Australia, "bloody hell" from London, "bula!" and "high tide" from Fiji, and occasionally I still emit a "hai!" from Japan. Great post!
