The most important thing to remember is to speak with a smile, even when you don´t understand what is being said or asked. When traveling to a new area or place, give yourself extra time in case you get confused. In that way, under less stress, it´s easier to understand what is being said to you. Remember, a pleasant "¡Gracias!" goes a long way.
