Many say that the best way to learn a language is to travel to a country where they use your target language. Learning and improving can be remarkably motivating there. But more than just traveling to a country is required. Even if you're abroad, you'll still need to learn the local language. So you have to be active, see every situation as an opportunity to make progress, and above all, want to.

Here are some tips for anyone who wants to learn a language while traveling:

First, engage with the language yourself.

Listening to people and trying to understand what they say is useful, but more is needed to learn the language. Read the signs on the street and try to pronounce them correctly. Communicate in the language as much as possible and avoid speaking English. People abroad often answer you in English to make it easier for you. Then you have to make them understand you want to practice the language. Most of the time, people even feel honored if they're going to learn their language.

Avoid people who speak your native language.

Sometimes, it is strange to communicate with people in another language, even if they can speak our native language. That's why it's best to connect with locals, although building friendships with people who speak the same vocabulary is much easier. This way you will learn not only the language, but also phrases and gestures that the locals use, and you will also get to know the country's culture extraordinarily.

Pay attention to the accommodation you go to

There are better solutions than a hotel if you want to learn a language. In homestays, or in general, as well as bed & breakfasts, you will immerse yourself much better in the culture and language. It is also an excellent way to meet other family members and let them show you around the country.
