We could, on an individual level, engage just a little with the language and culture of places we visit (the Brits are actually in the top five countries with most people travelling abroad each year). And we would probably do well to stop taking the mick out of people who aren’t native speakers of English.Knowing a second language is so important. And the respect that you gain, and the respect that you show, by at least trying â€" and no one is asking you to be completely fluent â€" is something equally as important.
