“It must be your English ability that gets you traveling around the world.” That is one thing I hear most of the time after sharing my journey with a friend. But now I am going to tell you, English ability has nothing to do with traveling around the world.
1. Most people on this planet do not speak English
Many of my friends think that you must be good at English to travel, but there have been a lot of proofs showing that’s a wrong concept. When I traveled to Thailand, yes I could see English signs everywhere in the airport, but once I stepped out of the “International zone”, even a native English speaker would doubt if he/she is not speaking English well enough.
Let’s take a look at Taiwan. There are English services in the airport too. Well, try to order something in English from the noodle stand next door, I am sure you will probably get this ”What the heck are you talking about?”
Like many citizens in our country, most people on this planet don’t speak English. That means you cannot travel around with only “good English”. Does it mean you have to learn all the languages before you travel? Well, no need to.
