Learning a few phrases is not going to help you with the language barrier. Suggestion to become fluent enough for conversation before visiting a foreign country is just absurd lol
It's clear that ppl in this thread have never attempted to learn a foreign language as an adult huh
Let me guess, it's all use the same writing system, from the same background (germanic languages).
I mean learning 2 languages isn't hard but to learn one spending so much time to get fluent enough to converse just for your one week trip is just stupid on multiple levels
