Learn the Language
American citizens, no matter what their occupation,
would love to go overseas for a vacation.
For all those people who have never been out of the country,
obtain a passport and book a flight. There is so much to see.
Go to Europe, Asia, or South America.
For something more exotic, try Australia or Africa.
There are many countries pushing their tourist industry.
Take plenty of cash because they just love our money.
However, before you go, be sure to understand what they say.
Learning to speak their language provides for a better day.
There may be thieves and shysters ripping you off in every way.
They say if you speak two languages, you are bilingual.
If you understand three languages, you are trilingual.
If you speak only one language, you are an American.
Linguistics is needed for each traveling woman and man.
