From the day that we are born communication has been part and parcel of our daily life. It’s the way where we try to communicate our feeling, emotions and thoughts through sounds, actions and words. Being born in a multi-racial country, we are being exposed to different languages such as English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil.

In Singapore, majority of the people who have gone through the local education would have took two different languages; one being English where the second language is depended on their parentage. Schools in other counties like Japan, Korea and China do offer their students to learn second language, but due to their country main used language isn’t what they learn in school causing them not able to practice effectively. Having said that, I am a person who loves to travel overseas being able to know more language giving me the edge to communicate and click with people around the world to learn more about their culture.

Every strength will always have a weakness, despite me able to speak different languages there are still challenges that I face. One of the challenges I face is that sometimes my body language gives others a different meaning than what I would like to tell them. This reduces my effectiveness in being a good communicator. Another challenge I face is that my choice of words or tone of voice might be offensive to some people. I hope to address these challenges so that I may become a better communicator
