Do the villagers in Nepal speak English?
School children, teachers, officials, teenagers, and other youth tend to speak English better than adults and elderly citizens. Although it is not essential to learn the native languages, it is extremely useful and appreciated if you make an effort to learn the basics. Village Volunteers offers basic Nepali and Tibetan Language Guides in the online orientation materials (which volunteers can access after they have applied, been accepted, and submitted a program deposit).
