The locals will appreciate effort on your part, and in fact, you may receive slightly better treatment than you would otherwise. In a perfect world that wouldn't be true, but every little bit helps.

Improving communication with locals is important. By learning some of language, you reduce possiblity of miscommunication.

Travel is simply more fun when you speak language. It's all part of adventure. Learning country, people and culture will expand your possibilities.
