So you’re packed and ready to go! Congratulations! If you’re headed to a foreign country, you might want to pack a little more than your walking shoes and sunscreen. Learning or writing down a few choice phrases for travelers in the language of the country you’re visiting is never a bad thing: not only does it open up communication with locals, but learning some of these can also help you communicate in an emergency.

Below is a list of helpful phrases for travelers that can be useful when you’re having a good time or when you’re in a bit of a bind. Sit for a minute before you leave and write down the translation for each one—you never know when they can come in handy!

  1. Hello!
  2. How are you?
  3. My name is:
  4. Please / thank you
  5. Excuse me
