I plan on going abroad in the coming year & want to know enough of the local language to ask basic things. Does anyone know something like 100 or 250 words that I could memorize to get across basic ideas & questions? I don’t care about being grammatical correct just enough to cave man speak during my time there.

      I’d add to this list:

      That’s too expensive! Cash price? Stop here! Speak slowly, please.

      And any words you might need to relate a dietary restriction: no meat, no dairy, no shellfish, no gluten.
