I think the experience of traveling in a country speaking the native tongue vs. talking to everyone in English is very, very different. I really don’t think you can get the same experience of the customs, beliefs and values just by reading about a country in English or doing tourist type traveling. I really think speaking one foreign language is a basic part of being educated.
