It should be just about trivial to learn enough of the foreign language to ask those 8 questions in any of the major European languages. Not that it necessarily impresses the locals that you took half an hour to learn how to say "Hey man, you know where the local public restroom is?" but if you unbutton your shirt and point at a symbol, they'll be impressed with how little you actually care about their country.

Just my $.02.
