This is my experience when shared with people who are different nations. Initially I was hesitant because I was embarrassed when it comes to speaking English with that person.
I met with her when there is a spiritual seminar in Getsemani, Ungaran. really grateful to share with her. Initially I used the English language to share with her, she turned out to be Indonesian. I share about the spiritual experience. after that we came closer and I call him as "Mommy". She comes from Adelaide, Australia, very friendly and easy to get along with anyone. She is very enthusiastic when listening to people who talk with her. after the seminar ended we sometimes still in touch by email.
hehehe ... Basically because I was still in doubt then I use google translate to help when going to share with him. thanks google.. ^.^ has created a tool translate google that is helpful. sometimes i'm really confused about what is going to be share. but most often we share stories about what we've been through and the state of our respective countries. In the of the share, she was always guided and supported me with wise words. Thanks God, so grateful know her. ^.^
Then i also remember when i have a study tour "PGSD BI" goes to Bali, we have an assignments to interview the Foreign Tourist at Tanah Lot.... Wow... It's so difficult because most of the Tourist didn't accept our offered to interview... My group and me thinks that Tourist saw us like a reporter because we bring our paper interview.. So we agreed, put our paper on our pocket and say hi to the Tourist when they have a time (hopefully...^^) we'll have little chit chat with them according to our interview's rules...Finally we got the very kind old man who was very excited when we have chat with him..^^
