Good Communication, Better Understanding!

I am working in a Adult Home Facility owned by Chinese couple. And mostly of our residents speaks different languages such as: Chinese, Spanish,  German, and French. Some of them don’t even know how to speak English which sometimes I find it so difficult to communicate to them. I feel so stress communicating to some of them because we could not understand with each others.

Like especially we have an elderly who only choose to speak Spanish. Every time she comes to me and complains of a pain I keep asking her to speak English because I can only understand some basic Spanish and she talk so fast too! But this resident is hard headed! That’s why sometimes I choose to ignore or avoid her because its so hard to communicate to her. One day she told me that she don’t like me because I am mean to her, especially when I talk to her in a high pitch voice.

It would be nice if I can easily visit translia.com when I’m at work for their online translation service whenever I have trouble communicating this particular resident. Well, to those of you who also have difficult time communicating to a foreign person or maybe let say you went on a vacation to other countries like France and German and You couldn’t understand or you don’t know how to communicate to a person because of a language barrier . Then it is a must for you to visit service de traduction for French Translation Service and Übersetzungsdienst for German Translation Service. I’m sure it would help you a lot.

I remember 6 years ago when I flew here in America by myself for the very first time I had a stop over to Japan. It was unbelievably crazy because my plane was delayed and I had difficult time asking for instruction since all of the worker in Japan airport never speaks English, Gladly I meet some Filipino’s who helped me  find my plane.

If I knew about this online translation service back then,  it would have been easy for me to communicate those people that I ask for an instruction. Oh well, at least now I know where to seek help.
