Went to the KPP talk today after I had passed my Traffic rules test. I must say that I went to this talk very late, as most of my friend went to this talk two months ago. That's why when I went to the place I can't find anyone I recognized at first. After I arrived , I waited for my agent to get further information.
I noticed that she has a girl by her side when she came. The girl too, is one of her customers that is going to the talk with me. She is especially noticeable in the crowd because she is way shorter than the other people. Having labelled as 'vertically-challenged' person in my whole life, I felt sympathy towards her because I could totally relate to her. Anyway, I seized a chance to know her better and she told me her name is S (name is changed to protect privacy). She too, is learning to drive a car only she apply for a different driving license for the disabled. However, she is very independent and sociable. She can speak fluent English, Mandarin, Malay and Hokkaido. I confessed to her that I can't even speak one dialect. She advised me to learn because I might face difficulties with others when I got o work.
When the talk is over, I am supposed to meet my driving instructor to know the date that I am going to have my three hours practical talk. I met the instructor (who is a Chinese), then found out I could grasp what he is talking about. He is talking in Cantonese (at least I think so). So, I asked him to speak in Mandarin after explained to him that I can't understand ANY dialect.I have a feeling that I was confessing a committed crime by stating so. I swear that he looked very surprised when he heard the news. He seemed like a kind person though. I hope that the lesson would be enjoyable even with the language barrier.
At the end of the day, I was determine to polish my language and communication skill.
Still, I am lazy to learn dialect.
Hope I won't regret that.
