Hey! I did a lot of pointing at the menu, nodding and using my hands to show many many servings etc you'll find that people are ok with you doing that as you'll obviously look foreign or the fact that you're not communicating to them in their language they'll understand you can't communicate. Using your body language and facial expressions in a friendly and polite manner also helps with the mood between yourself and the person you're communicating with - it just helps make the situation generally calm and accepting. I do know basic phrases and words in the language, which I did use from time to time, mostly "yes" and "thank you". Using translating apps are also another great way to communicate! People did try to communicate with me in English, or I met other English speakers there (I specifically travelled to go to an event) who I did talk with and actually stuttered with but it didn't really matter. I was there on a trip I always wanted to do, I wasn't going to be there forever, I wasn't going to see these people again; I didn't feel too stressed about stuttering or the affects it would have because I would eventually leave it all behind. So, you don't actually have to talk to people if you dont want to or don't feel comfortable talking with. If you do run into other English speakers you can always pretend that you don't speak English lol I've done that many times before tbh
