It has been 12 days now since I started working as a receptionist in a campground. I felt uneasy at first because for me, this is going to be a new learning experience, a new kind of job and a very challenging process for me. Everyday, I get to meet a lot of people. New faces, different cultures and different personalities. I have to deal with that! Besides, it is my job. I just go crazy in some areas that I have to deal with the teenagers and some young adults for the safety, security and silence preserved where I am working right now. While dealing with some people from the country of Canada, I have noticed that they not only speak the language of simple English but they do speak another language - the French. It was like a new music to me with different accent and language that I can't understand personally. It was hard. I felt like I am a tourist in a certain nation where I have to deal with my own language sign so they can understand me.
Basically, the languages I speak are Tagalog and English only. As I grew up, I have never learn any other languages to nourish my mind and tongue. It's purely Tagalog and English as part of my subjects in school from Elementary until I graduated in College. I also used them in finding a job and until I landed my first job. A French customer from Quebec, Canada came in and register for a campsite, she taught me some basic French. She said that French is a romantic language so I have to be careful delivering the words and message. Right now, I am looking for the possibilities of learning a new language. I want to learn French, German, Mandarin, Italian, Spanish and Japanese. I hope I will not procrastinate in learning a new language as I will be using it anywhere I go and in time that I am ready to travel big time someday. I know I can do it, I just need the ability to learn the accent, the pronunciation and how I will read it.
