Even if it's just a few words so that you can show you are trying and respect your hosts. If you can do it in a country where the language is spoken it can help you really learn the language well if you make an effort. However, I've known people who have lived in countries for several years and still speak the language horribly. It's all about attitude and effort.

During the low season it can attract 350 people a day whereas high season (generally Argentinean school holidays) sees 1,000 or more people treading the antique paths.
