language barrier....

one of the major problem that is usually encountered when you work overseas is the language barrier.... especially when you work in in a multi disciplined environment, where not everybody finishes college let alone went to school....

sometimes it gets frustrating when you give specific instructions to your subordinate and later in the day when you check what they have accomplished, find out that they have done nothing relevant to what you have expected....

through the years we have come to realize that straight forward English doesn't work well with some nationalities (not that i am trying to discriminate or being racist) is to speak in combination of "broken English" local dialect and some of their own dialect that you picked up along the way.....

but one thing that never fails to work.... find one of his compatriot who understand and speak good English .....
