Visiting another country with non-native language

[HikerShawn]

How do you all feel about visiting and touring other countries where the language isn't your own?

For example, going to Indian as an American or Brit and only speaking English.

Would this scare you? Make you not want to go? Or would you just wing it?

I think I would be a bit weary of traveling to a different country, I know we've got smart phones now and they could help us translate things but translation on phones still isn't good. I know there's also dictionaries you can get too, but even then it can be difficult to communicate with other people. I think it's a good idea to see if you could look into getting a guide while you're traveling in other countries to help you.
