Ask a shopkeeper to teach you one word
“Asking to be taught puts you one-down in front of a stranger. They almost always enjoy being asked.”
The Recipe
- Go into a small shop where the owner speaks the local language you don't.
- Buy the smallest thing, then ask them to teach you one useful word or phrase.
- Say it back until you have it.
