You are a pebble in the river of traffic!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I repeat my coworker\u2019s advice to myself as I stand near a crowded avenue in Hanoi. The buzz of a hundred motorcycles rattles my ears; cars approach from all directions. Across the street is the reason I came to Vietnam: a tall office building where one of our most important customers is based.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tide of traffic remains relentless. But there\u2019s no intersection in sight, and time is running short.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are a pebble.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I set my eyes on the building across the way, lower my foot from sidewalk to street, and take my first step. My briefcase and presentation materials suddenly feel like bricks in my arms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not stop<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I take a few more steps, bracing for almost certain impact, when the motorcycles buzzing towards me start to lean to my left and to my right, flowing past me like water. Cars slow their pace to let me get across. I watch the river with absolute amazement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unharmed, I step up onto the other sidewalk and swagger into the building lobby. As I approach the elevator, however, my amazement quickly morphs into anxiety. Parting the river was only my first task. The next challenge will be far more daunting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it came to travel, I considered myself intrepid. When it came to languages, I considered myself unstoppable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After majoring in French and living in France for a year, I could fool French people into thinking I was a local. A few years later, I moved to Colombia and made mastering Spanish my new ambition. For the first few months, progress came at a frustratingly slow pace. I struggled to roll my \u201crr\u201ds and was totally confused by the local slang. Nonetheless, I would not be denied the title of trilingual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What actually helped me most in South America was that <\/span><b>the Colombians I met would do just about anything to be understood.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hand gestures, miming, weird noises \u2014 no tactic was too embarrassing, no effort was too great. Some people would just repeat the same sentence really loudly \u2014 which wasn\u2019t particularly helpful, but their heart was certainly in the right place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, as Lead Customer Success Manager at Voxy, I put my language learning to work helping my customers reach their business goals. Almost every day I get the chance to write emails, do presentations and conducting meetings in French or Spanish. Growing up, one of my life goals was to speak another language. Now I was <\/span><b>trilingual<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and doing business all over Europe and South America. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can go anywhere<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I told myself boldly. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can do anything!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The directory next to the elevator is, naturally, all in Vietnamese. There are no offices on the ground floor \u2014 the lobby is totally empty, not a soul in sight. I fumble for my phone, but my hands are full with materials for the meeting. Sweat starts condensing on my brow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suddenly, a cleaning person exits a stairwell nearby. She also has her hands full: two bulky garbage bags in each hand. I glance at her nervously, then at my watch \u2014 the meeting is going to start any minute. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time has come to channel my inner Colombian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cExcuse me,\u201d I shout out, probably a little too loudly for the silent office lobby. \u201cThis office&#8230;what floor?\u201d I jab at the air with my elbow towards the directory. She stares at me blankly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I shuffle closer to the sign. I actually nudge the wall twice, then pivot around and strain my neck in the direction of the elevator. She raises her eyebrows and smiles, then responds quickly \u2014 in Vietnamese. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I exhale sharply. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not stop<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, my inner Colombian whispers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turning to face her, I say the name of the customer slowly and begin counting the floors, nodding my head and jutting out my white-knuckled fingers with each number. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One&#8230;? Two&#8230;? Three&#8230;? <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally she nods, puts down one of the bags, and holds up three fingers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I smile at her from ear to ear and bolt to the elevator, sweat streaming down my face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Situations like this may be few and far between these days. Our phones can translate any phrase; our apps can hail cabs for us, order food for us, pay our bills and set our reminders. But in case you find yourself in a strange new land, with technology out of reach and a dire need to communicate, nothing is more precious than the courage to ask questions and the kindness of strangers who take the time to respond.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Kaplan, Lead Customer Success Manager at Voxy, offers personal insight into the challenges and rewards of second language acquisition, reflecting on his time abroad in France, Colombia, and Vietnam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":18915,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[693],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-para-alunos"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
