The rep for our contract has informed the vietnamese staff to use English in the lab since coworkers do not know what is being said about them behind their backs. To no avail. It continues.

Forced out for suggesting that people learn a second language that will benefit them in myriad ways for the rest of their lives.

Nice

MEDICINE?

Just what all of us would eagerly sign up for——

A medical person who doesn’t speak English,

who might be prescribing your medications—

and making a diagnosis that affects your future health.

How many errors can possible occur with set of scenarios?????

NO THANKS-—I want a person well trained & who communicates in ENGLISH.

How many different dialects re there in China?

English might have some area accents—and some local expressions-—BUT ENGLISH IS ENGLISH.

I went to a hearing once and the convener and one of the involved were Hispanic. The meeting was conducted, all in English, and after it was over the two switched to Spanish to make a social commitment, but obviously did not want anyone else to know what their conversation was about. After they finished, I asked them if they knew I spoke Spanish? Awkward silence.
