Yes. Out of politeness and respect and in case I ever visited their country or got deeper into a relationship with them.

Of course!

You want to get in touch with the mentality of th country,
its part of their culture,
besides all doors open if you try communicating in the native tongue.

Forget learning another language,I HAVE A hard enough time understanding other peoples English sometimes.
Apart from the bricks,I just got a part time gig doing maintenance,plastering,painting,repairs in a HOSTEL on week-ends,and I MET few tourists from WALES and England that I find hard to understand,and the owner of the HOSTEL,a woman originally from AUSTRALIA(lovely lady),,,,,,I really have a hard time understanding her ENGLISH,so I JUST SMILE and nod my head.

She appreciates my work....that's what's important to me,and as long as I GET MY PAYCHECK EVERY WEEK....I'll keep smiling and nodding my head.


laugh





I'm outta here.

super
