Actually this is the next question I was going to ask.What is
advantage of being multi lingual TD?
Maybe for day time OMO or Limo drivers there is, but for
sometime rubbish truck sometimes shuttle bus relief driver like us
I don't see the importance.
I believe as a TD, after a few years of driving, you should know
the routes by your finger tips, from then on life become norm
and thing become a routine kind of life. So by learning another
language and applied it into your daily work, its help to build
confident and in a way, revitalise your way of working.
It is not necessary to go deep into understanding a new
language, u need only to know the speaking part, not the writing
nor the grammer part. Master the greetings, the way to say thank
you and some nice words will do just fine. It will makes lots of a
different day btw you and your pax.
Just like if we go to a western country and a cabby from there
say thank you to us in mandarin, I think we will appreciate it and
feel more welcome.
