There are not many countries where the people aren't absolutely delighted for you to try out their language. If you use just the word for 'thank you', they'll be impressed. If you know more about their language, even if you are not fluent, you'll find yourself learning more about the real people, not the ones shown to us in movies. They are exactly as curious about us as we are about them.
