Our hosts and our teams will provide interpreters to help communicate whenever necessary. However, consider learning some phrases in the language of the country you are traveling to in order to help yourself and your team get around, as well as honor the people and culture that your are visiting. There are many free apps available, such as Duolingo that can help you learn!
