One short email each morning, like this one for a trip to Lisbon:
Hey Alex! 45 days until Lisbon.
Today's tip: learn three words before you land. “Bom dia” (good morning), “boa tarde” (good afternoon), and “obrigado” for thank you, or “obrigada” if you're a woman, since it matches the speaker, not the listener. Greet staff first when you walk into a shop or café. It goes a long way, even if you switch to English right after.
Fun fact: Portuguese is an official language in nine countries across four continents. Lisbon locals are known for swallowing their vowels, so don't worry if it sounds nothing like the Portuguese you've heard before.
