I went to an English club yesterday and a group of people were talking about traveling abroad this summer. A friend of mine asked us a question. I vaguely remember his question "How necessary is it for tourists to learn the language of the country they're visiting?"
My answer was "It's very necessary for tourists to pick up a foreign language if they are going to visit that foreign country. Learning a local language can not only help one to better express themselves but better understand the country's culture and customs. It smoothes things like checking in a hotel, ordering food, shopping, etc., in a foreign country. It also promotes efficient communication with local people."
I think my answer isn't good at all. Could you please write me a natural version?
