Overcomming the language barrier
Hey guys. Would love some input from people who've done the western route of Africa.
As far as I can tell, speaking french would be a huge help. Sadly, I don't speak a word of it  . The only usefull language I speak is english since I pressume neither danish or german will do me any good in Africa..hehe.
So I'd be interested to know if anyone with simillar language skills has braved the continent.
I've been considering taking some beginners course in french, but unsure if it'll do me any good on a trip like this. Perhaps I should just hook up with my brother, who is fluent in french, and learn some appropriate phrases?
Ideas, comments, experiences?
