Tomorrow, I'll start my duty, internship program as a doctor in one remote area for 1 year. I'm so interested with this, as a person who born and live in a big city all his life. One requirement I should do is learning their language. It's not a hard language. It doesn't have different grammar with our national language, but I still have to learn many new vocabs.What interesting from this is, this language has different level for wome words, means, the same word we use to friend, is different to adults.Like "dahar" for eat, It's a verb we use to friend, but when we talk to adult, or in more polite form, we say "tuang" or "neda". But for animal, which is very rude is "lebok". So I have to learn 4 more words for one new word (instead of learning English, Chinese, French, and many more useful language, I have to learn this language, oh my! A language I'll never use again after finished this program).But it is not a hard dialect, so I'll master it because I can practice it everyday with the locals. That is the best way to learn a new language. :)
Thanks Sewar, yes I will, and I had experienced some of them recently :)... Thanks for all the motivation Sewar, this is a really great chance and new experience for me. I'm doing good so far. Thanks for the wishes, God Bless You too... :)
Hi my friend Stephen, how lucky you are, You will make new friendships, will test new local dishes, will put smiles on dry and miserable lips, then you have their prayers. Youwill listen to someone's problem, be sure that active listening builds trust and is always worth the effort, and maybe you help him to solve his problem, I can insure you that service to others is the secret to a joyful life. And probably, you will share someone his hobby, will learn new vocabulary and new personal values, will know well new experiences and thoughts. My friend really how lucky you are. Don't worry about the language because, the smile has magic effect on others, if you did any bull, just smile my friend, just smile. God bless you, and my best wishes for you.
It can be a problem if you don't know the local language because doctors need to communicate with their patients by using a shared language. Thankfully, you know most of the local language you're going to use.

By the way, it sounds like a dialect, not a totally new language!
