Discussion- Ordering in a restaurant when you can't speak the language- What are your options?

  • Point to pictures in the menu. Very easy in Japan, but not all countries use pictures in the menu as much as Japan.
  • Use a phrase book- look up what you want in your own language and then point to the translated version in the foreign language.
  • As you walk into the restaurant, look carefully at what other people are eating.  Then when the waitress comes, gesture that you want what 'that guy' is having.
