XLingual

First off sorry its been a while for not adding anything lately the office has all been a bit busy lately.

Now back to our Feature Presentation (as told to us):

"I was in the break room at work talking to some of the part-timers here who are full-time students about going overseas. They mentioned to me that the language barrier was a problem for them. I was compelled to tell them that this wasn't a problem for me at all! I felt it was my duty to help them out so I let them in on my secret. All experienced world travelers know, and this is what I do, is take a class on accents. Now I don't mean learn how to speak with an accent as many actors do, but how to understand anyone speaking English with an accent. I can now understand anyone on the planet that speaks English with an accent. I told them how this help me tremendously when I was overseas."



------Sigh I haven't taken a class on it, but I am pretty sure I can understand anyone on the planet that speaks English just like her. For me personally when I go overseas its the other languages, the ones I don't know, that I have issues with.
