Say what? - Local Tongue

Being an expatriate and not able to speak, write and understand the local dialect is really a disadvantage. I learned this the hard way, And specially if you are living for a period of time in your host country.

The first thing that we need to do, is to understand the language. I had a hard time communicating when I was in the immigration dept of my host country. As the clerk, security, reception is also having some hard time understanding us.


So one of my goal now is to learn the local language to break the barrier and open more opportunities.
