Kamusta ka? Having worked overseas for close to 11 years, I realized how powerful language is in connecting with individuals. I learned the time of the day to use Selamat pagi, sore and malam, the nuance of answering “thik hai” and “accha” in Hindi, the unique slang words of Australia (buggerall) and of course, expressing gratitude in Cantonese with “m-goi sai”. I also started conversing with clients in Filipino. I think they feel a more genuine connection that way. #locallanguage #connectingwithpeople

You knew “thik hai & achha” too? I remember your “jugadd” 😄
