What does 'navigate the world' mean? We normally navigate cars, trains or ships but not the world,isn't ?

Answer

The word 'navigate' is derived from the Latin words 'navis' meaning ship, and 'agere' meaning to drive. However, in modern English navigate is also used to describe the action of moving through something; like: 'navigate the internet' or 'navigate the streets' or as in your example 'navigate the world'. Therefore, in the context of travelling the world it essentially means;  knowing a language will make it easier for someone to travel the world.
