Have you ever visited another country where you didn’t know the language and couldn’t figure out how to say something as simple as “Where’s the bathroom?” or “In which direction is my hotel?”. Well, here are the common phrases you need to know before traveling to another country. 

1. Where’s the bathroom?

This is an hourly-daily-weekly thing that everyone does. If you can’t find a bathroom wherever you are traveling, you are going to have some serious problems. Make sure you know how to say this by heart!

 

2. Where’s the money exchange?

One of the messy things when going to a foreign country is exchanging your money. You can’t just use American money in Japan, or euros in Australia, etc. Just in case there is an emergency where you might need some extra cash, be sure you know where you can exchange your money!

Extra tip: You may want to also know how to say “Do you take credit cards?” or “Do you take cash?” just to be safe.
