How important is it to speak the language?
If you can speak the language then you will find travelling becomes easier and more interesting as you will find the hidden gems by speaking to the locals. At celebrations you will become more of a participant than a spectator by knowing a little bit of the language. We can arrange Spanish lessons in South America when you arrive in various locations. If you are going to spend a lot of time in a particular country you can often do a beginners course here in the UK.
