Have you ever had the experience in going into a place in which they talk a totally different language than yours? Maybe in this case the experts are Chinese people. I constantly see them going into countries totally different from their own culture, and being able to manage their language barriers. In this case, I want to convey my personal experience exploring the stores inUrbino, Italy. Some friends from the Urbino program and I entered a gelato [Italian ice cream] store. After all my friends got their gelato, I approached the girl that was attending the store askig, “Scusi, parla, español?” To my surprise she instantly replied with a big smile on her face saying, “claro que si hablo español” (of course I speak spanish). I felt really honored that someone spoke my native language in a foreign country. For me to have that experience is more like a privilege than an expectation. I believe that is the obligation of the person that visits the other country to learn the language of that country. Maybe you think differently. Therefore, I conclude by asking, who is the one that is supposed to learn the other language?
