Summary

This quote suggests that it is important for individuals to learn the language of the country they plan to visit before traveling. By doing so, they avoid feeling entirely dependent, much like a helpless infant, and avoid appearing foolish or incapable. Learning the language enables better communication and understanding of the local culture, customs, and people, ultimately enhancing the overall travel experience and facilitating greater independence and integration.
