In the famous book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie states that "the sweetest and most important sound in any linguistic communication" is a person's ain name. While that might exist true, I'd venture to state that the most important sound is 'hello' in the person'due south own language.

Without 'hello' you don't have a adventure to go to the other words. As anyone who travels and has learned how to say 'hi' in different languages knows, nothing can make a person brighten and open upward as much every bit the effort to speak at least 'hullo' and 'thanks' in the local language. It shows that we're trying, that nosotros care, and that we are conscientious travelers.
