Here at inlingua Malta we are big fans of travelling to learn something new and to see the world from a different perspective. Plus there is no better way to learn a foreign language than by immersing yourself in a new country and local culture!
Here are ten travel quotes to inspire you to think about living and learning in a foreign country.
1. “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

3. “If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home.” -James Michener
This is a quote that serves as a reality check for many travellers. When you visit a new country you may experience something called culture shock. Culture shock is when you essentially miss everything about your home country!

5. “A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” -Lao Tzu
This is an age old quote by the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu. This quote suggests that travel is about the journey not the destination. This is an important quote to remember when you are learning a new language. Focus on the journey, not the end result.
