One of my favorite parts of traveling abroad is the opportunity bits and pieces of a foreign language. Learning to say ‘thank you’ in 50 languages is certainly no easy task, but there are a few you can pick up for your next trip abroad.
When Travis and I travel, we try to pick up a few words for the country we’re in. I know it always goes a long way.
So with the month of November here, the month of thanksgiving, I wanted to share a fun post. Take a peek and learn to say ‘thank you’ in 50 languages!
