English term or phrase: A smile goes a long way

Is it necessary for my clients to speak English?
No definitely not. Our hosts are experienced in hosting people from around the world and our hosts find that body language is very universal. A smile goes a long way no matter where you are from.
TIA

I think it is about whether speaking English is a must to join the trip. There can be many renderings in Chinese but \"communication\" should be the focus.
