Life on Board Part 2

Living in a Ship Part 2

Working on a cruise ship means we should prepared to interact with other crews from various nationalities, races, religions, and others. Here is the importance we have to master a foreign language. When interacting with other fellow crews mostly us the English Language. But the company that I live to work is a company based in Spain where more than half the crew on board are people from Latin countries such as Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. So interact with these people used to use Spanish because most of them do not mastered English language. Imagine with our people from Indonesia who’s only mastered English. Sometimes interacting with those Latin people si done by body language…hehehe

Most of the Indonesian people at the company where I worked for are not specifically studied Spanish. They are autodidact mastered that language. Learn directly from Latin people who can speak English. So learn and practice on the ground….cool, isn’t?

Likewise with me. When I first stepped on board I was surprised by the language used. But gradually because often hear Latin people talked finally able to understood a little of this language. Eventually I even fluently speak the Spanish language whereas learning just autodidact. So much so a fellow Indonesian colleagues was surprised to see I able to speak Spanish fluently. I myself was wondered why I could master the language so quickly.
