    Thumbs down Speak my Langauge.. Rant

    They say men and women speak a different laungage.. Try understanding someone who speaks japanese..

    This has been my entire morning and i think the only thing i have understood is...

    "I don't speak very well english"

    I am trying to create an advertisement for a japanese cultural society and from what i gather the ad will be 2inchs by 2 inches.. not possible

    Oyah and he is very pleased to work with me

    I feel you on this one. I tutor Korean people three times per week in ENGLISH. Not the easiest thing to do. Try communicating through e-mail, I find sometimes when they take their time and write it out it is easier to comprehend because they KNOW the words but find it hard to pronounce etc. When I talk to my students its hard sometimes but when they send me e-mails its not so bad.

    HAHAHA funny, i have an easier time understanding foreigners they seem to speak slower. so easier to follow.. and lots of gaps in convo where u can throw back what u think they said, and for them to confirm or say what they said again..

    A BAD ENGLISH SPEAKER on the other hand that speaks 300 words a minute, I tend to miss a lot of what they say. Usually I follow the wrong points they're trying to make,since 50 are made in one sentence. Then either they get frustrated cause they think i'm not really listening, or i just lose interest cause i get a headache lol
