Communication Tips

Communicating may be a problem. A few simple practices, however, will reduce communication problems and even let students venture into remote areas off the tourist path while vocabulary and speaking skills are still in an embryonic state.

  1. Speak slowly, repeating if necessary. If this fails, smile and thank them in their language.

  2. Carry a paper and pen and communicate in writing or by drawing pictures.

  3. Use motions or gestures to communicate.
