International travel as a PWS I'm hoping to go on my first international trip this August (I'm American). It's going to be an anniversary celebration, and right now we're thinking of going to Italy. It's important to me to be a respectful tourist, and a big suggestion I hear is to try to learn a few phrases in the official language of wherever you're going. I've read that there will likely be people who know enough English to communicate with me, but there are a few areas off the beaten path that we might want to explore too. Learning new languages has always been very daunting for me. Sometimes it's hard for me to get the accent right, because like how do you maintain something you're so unfamiliar with while you're blocking? I feel like having a moderate stutter will just make the language barrier even more difficult to navigate. If anyone has any thoughts or personal experiences I would love to hear them.
