Connecting With Locals
Google Translate
Some islanders don’t speak English, and this translation app (with over 100 languages) translates the speaker for you and even translates you back to the speaker. You can also draw, take a photo or type your message and it will translate it for you.
Tandem
This language exchange app is the perfect way to brush up on the local language of where you’re traveling, and even make friends with locals before you arrive or while you’re there. It also gives you the opportunity to help speakers of other languages learn languages you are fluent in.
