>Foreign People's English<
I'm writing a blog now because I wanted to write it down quick, so I would not forget it later when I'm thinking of a topic to wrote in my blog.I and veena was just walking home from management class and we bumped into a foreigner on our way.We simply used the long way this time to find out better ways or in case we ever got lost we could find our way home.This foreigner if I 'm not mistaken looks like she's from one of the arabic countries and can't find her way around.She asked us in her dialect "how to go to Ampang Park with bus?'.We told her she could take the train there or taxi which is easier.But instead of that fact, she told us she knows how to go to Ampang Park with train but not with bus.She wants to learn another sort of transportation to go to Ampang Park.We were amazed by her endurance and perseverance ability and wanting to know more about different transportations to go to her destination.At last we told her we're not sure and she went on asking someone else.There we were trying to find an easier way to walk home, yet this foreign lady is working hard on getting adequate information on transportation to reach her destination.We realized our mistake and I decided to sort of follow in her steps.We also have to learn to understand foreign people's English as it varies from countries as their dialect is different.Luckily I and veena understood what she was trying so hard to say, as she seemed a little scared to ask us about Ampang Park.In 3 years time when we go to US, we have to do the same which is understand and give feedback to them as it shows our understanding in what they are saying.Even if it is slightly different, we have to try as it will help us later. That's all, thank you.
