If I could only learn one additional language, and I wanted to travel the world, what language would serve me best other than English or Spanish?

    my neuro-divergence sometimes causes people to think that i’m an asshole and if i can’t speak the local language to explain that; i won’t be able to explain away the autism induced faux pas that i created and that can sometimes lead to sticky situations.

      Learning the local word for sorry is really handy! I feel you, my partner and I struggle with the same sometimes. Most people everywhere are patient and polite, and want you to love their country!

        BRILLIANT!

        The situations are always the same so this should work fine. Thank you
