[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally if you go anywhere where English is not the main language, you will see fewer tourists. There are lots of places like this.[/quote]

+1. We try to learn the language of the country we are visiting before we arrive. Like this summer, we are visiting Japan, so we started learning and practicing Japanese everyday since September. Now we can spend most of our time outside the main tourist areas.

It’s quite a bit of effort, but it makes trips really amazing because you really interact with the people. [/quote]

This is a serious question, but how well can you actually learn each language? 
I’m bilingual, spent 6 years studying French and can have a very basic conversation with a French person, learned Spanish for 3 years and can ask tourism relevant questions. I’ve studied Korean for 2 years, can read signs and menus and ask very basic questions. 
I’ve been to only 30 countries, but there is no way I am learning every single language other than hello, please, and thank you.[/quote]
