It’s so true when language barriers are in play, honesty about what you know (or don’t know) can be a game-changer.
Too often, we think we’re making things easier by fumbling through, but sometimes it only leads to more confusion, especially if the other person is trying to meet us halfway.
Your experience shows the importance of transparency while navigating these tricky situations, even if things don’t always go to plan.
Sometimes, a bit of humility and humor in these moments makes them memorable stories rather than frustrating ones.
Thanks for sharing.
