I mean, sure, you might struggle with speaking the language, or not fluent at all
like my friends did when they got a scholarship to germany
but they had to take language courses
and tbh, it's for the betterment of themselves to communicate
these days that is called racist yes inquisition
Do u know what is on EVERY job application here
since we've yet to invent the universal translator device
no matter how basic your job is?
or a babel fish
"We are an equal opportunity employer."?
german or french language capacity?
dutch
oh right
just basic understanding for the most basic jobs
its on all of them
I thought of swiss' requirement
whoops
The way i see this, is that they are handicapping these people from the getgo by not giving them even the most basic tool to function in this country
but clearly many people disagree with me on that
Ofc you have to be abel to communicate if you want to work.
basically how i learned english
by annoying the shit out of english speaking people by constantly asking what words meant
there's not really a language requirement in Indonesia, just make sure you're able to communicate properly and well enough with other people.
I mean, there's over 300 languages spoken on a daily basis in Indonesia
with 1 lingua franca
but eh.... people tend to mix their own native language and the official language
We got 3 recognized languages here
but the city i live in has more nationalities in it then New york
it's not even nationalities, just different tribes with differing languages
yeah i know
its not the same here
yeah
hence why most people in Indonesia tends to be trilinguals
Heh
I speak 5 atm
but they only expect you to speak 2 properly
I speak 4 languages "fluently", with some other minor languages
But here is another example i always give to people
also, even though I'm chinese descent, I can't speak chinese at all
back in the 90s we had a large movement of eastern europeans coming in due to the whole balkan conflict
