When I met Bridget
She is a foreign sister. She was born in Portland in the United States.
When I talked to her one of the most difficult barriers was the language.

In my opinion, when i can´t communicate with another people, there´s such a language barrier, but I can try to communicate with facial expresions and gestures and I usually to improve english language; but when I speak english with american people I usually told them that they should speak clearly and slow, because when they speak really fast I can´t understand.
It´s really fun to speak english with american people but, i feel shy because i think that some people could make fun of my pronunciation.

THE WORST BARRIER IN A TRIP!!

When you travel to other country, you need to know its language, for one thing, you could lost if the country is big and you don't know the streets. For another, when you need to pay anything you couldn't know how. But you can draw scenes or try to communicate with gestures and facial expressions, that's sound funny XD. For example, I want to visit France, but I don't know french. Before I travel to France, I need to study something of French. As soon as I arrive to France, I'm going to go to Eiffel Tower, some friends say that place is so interesting =).

when it is very difficult to understand us , we can teach our language and we can teach to speak in our language.
well, here are some tips to understand a person .
------ YacQuiiCita
I never traveled out of my country but i studied tourism and i work with foreign people, so i can understand some people when they aren't in their country and they not only miss their family also they can't tocomunicate with anyone in any place or keep a flowing conversation, so sad, right? Well i think the most important is be patient, you have to try to the other person understand you because it can help you to get some thing or know some thing or go some place, but when are you who don't understand to the other person i think if you make some gestures you can get the other understands you, it might be more easy if you know some words of this languaje or if you have a dictionary in your hands or finally you can do pictures, with this is impossible that the other person don't understands you!
If you are going to travel to another country or if you are going to work with foreign peolpe it's very important to learn foreigns languajes i know that is a little expensive, a little hard and you are not going to have a lot of free time but believe me, it is going to help very much!!!!
INTERMEDIATE 2: A language barrier
First of all in a conversation, you must speak slowly and clearly. If you are not 100% sure you’ve understood what others say, politely ask for clarification. Use gestures and facial expressions can be useful too.
When you want to learn a foreign language, music can be a very effective method for me. Actually, there are several internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, it's better.
Also, you can use the dictionary or make questions to your classmates about the words that you don’t understand. You may practice grammar, vocabulary and do exercises too; well you can improve your knowledge of any language.
Finally, you don't worry that you don't say things correctly. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it, again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning foreign language requires practice. Don't let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.
That's all for now
In the first place I have to buy a dictionary or an electronic dictionary,well my friends told me that with this electronic dictionary I can learn a lot of words in a short time so I prefer to buy this item than others,but If in this time I don't have much money to pay it.I can write a signboard that says CAN ANYBODY HELP ME? BECAUSE I MUST FIND A HOTEL TO SPEND THE NIGHT!!!!!!! PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE!!!!!
Well if this fails I can looking for the embassy from my country but even i can't communicate with them,but a great option would be use gestures or facial expressions.
In the second I have to be comprensive with them because i can look a crazy saying words that they don't know or worse they can say the police that i want to stole them it'd be a big problem because i can go to jail xD, well i think i must be friendly to be more acepted and learn all their habits and costumes!!!!

overcoming a languages barrier
when you decide to travel to another countries outside your country, you should learn languages before traveling. or practice basic phrases to communicate because as soon you arrives at this country, you'll find a languages barrier. and after that you 'll fell frustrate. but there some solution that you can follow .
when you can't communicate in the same language, you must try to communicate with gestures and facial expressions or write what you mean because maybe this person can't understand your pronunciation. it's important watch movies or listen music in the same language that you are learning. i think it's a strategy that can help to enrich the language that you are learning. i always work with those strategies, for example while i listen music in english, i associate my vocabulary with the letter of the music

For example , when I travel to Cusco , I visited my grandmother's houses .
In this place nobody could speak spanish very well because everybody usually speak Quechua
At the first I didn't have idea about how communicate, so I decided to try to communicate with gestures and facial expressions.
Also I went to the library to buy a Quechua - Spanish dictionary.
It helped me to understand a lot of words.
Also , when I didn't understand any situation I drew some pictures about it.
This travel was a great experience to know this interesting languages.
After that , I learned some words and I was planning to study Quechua because I think all peruvian people have to speak this traditional language.

OVERCOMING A LANGUAGE BARRIER
Before you travel could be better that you research for common phrases you can use when you arrive to the place you want, because in many places you can find rude and impolite people who maybe don´t want to help you , and that is not going to be a nice experience to tell.
If you want to communicate with someone who doesn’t speak your language, it’s important to make facial expressions and gestures, I think is the most usual because many of gestures are international and well-known. Speaking clearly and slowly can help; you could also use pictures or a dictionary to show you want to say.
overcoming a language barrier
After I arrive to China ,I'll get an interpreter because if I don't do that maybe I'm going to lose for all the country =D.I know that the interpreter is not to be with me all the time for example ,as soon as I arrive to China ,I'm going to visit the museams,cultural centers and other typical places there ,I have to use the board or a dictionary with the pronunciation finally if there is an extreme situation and I can't communicate with them I could use gestures and facial expressions I think it's going to be funny!...xP

When you have a language barrier…
You have many options to solution this hard problem, I f you travel alone and you know some about the language, try to speak slowly and more clearly, then people may understand you what are you talking about, but if you know nothing about that language, you are in serious problems, well you could hire a person to be your translator, that’s ok if you have money to hire, but if you don’t have you might use pictures or gestures and facial expressions, or maybe you could draw, it doesn’t usually work, but It’s an option, to avoid this problem you have to prepare since you plan your trip, you have to learn the language and the costumes, it’s another hard problem, of the country that you will visit.
INTERMEDIATE 2
- First,youhave to speak more slowlyand clearly for the other person.
- You maybe try to communicate with gestures and facial expressions.
- Also you can draw some pictures or use some things to the other person understand you much better.
And If you are in the other side, that you don't speak other language very well.You could do the next things:
- You should always have a dictionary that help you to understand better.
- You should learn basic questions about pronunciation or the meaning of the words.
- also you can try to practice everyday to improve your speaking.
How can you communicate when you travel an another country?
When you traveling to another city where they don´t speak the same languge, take precautions about vocabulary, pronunciation, etc.

NOWADAYS COMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT !!!
I think the comunication is really important nowadays! So, if you want to visit other country, first of all you have to learn its language and then you will have most opportunities.
Now, I studying other language and if I want to improve my language skills I have to use a good dictionary. Also, I have to listen to music and watch movies about this language and I have to practice a lot!!!
When we go to another country and know new people communicate is so dificult for this reason is important to learn others languages or some importants words for example "hello", "thank you" or "good bye".
I remmenber two years ago I worked in a photographer center, my boss was a Korean so he could speaks in spanish and all understand him but he had a son and he didn´t speak spanish.
We try to communicate with gestures but it´s no was easy, he bought a notebook and sometimes when I couldn´t understand he draw.
After 1 month he could understand some words but him pronunciation was very funny for this reason he spoke slowly.

************ OVERCOMING A LANGUAGE BARRIER*********
When you can’t communicate in the same language easily. It is important to have a dictionary because you can find those words that you do not understand. You can also play with your hands, you can do mimic
It is necessary to speak slowly because your partner or your friends can understand better, you can also use pictures
Now technology has advanced and there is a portable translator. This is similar to a computer but this is small. It is easy to use, only you write your sentence and ready.
This new technology can translate four languages for example, French, English, Italian and Portuguese. It is very durable, reliable, affordable, innovative, portable and attractive .It is convenient
For me it is necessary to practice the language before that you travel .You can read magazine, book, etc or study in an institute for a year or two years and know the basics because when you travel to another country is difficult to communicate. I think it's another life because each country has different traditions and customs for example: Typical dishes, music, time, money, weather and language

overcoming a language barrier ¡¡
with the people of this country because we don't know its language or maybe we can't speak it very well , for these reasons we should be ready and try to resolve theses problems of many ways. For example , We always should bring a dictionary.
Also, if we know just a little the language of this country we can speak clear and slow or maybe we can write in a piece of paper, of this way it still be easier for us to communicate, besides that , we also use some pictures, in order to make them understand what we are trying to say. Also when we don't know how to say something
we should make some gestuares.

All my life for sale
I would like to respond to the article about all my life for sale.
I strongly believe that this kind of project is a good way to make much profit because you wouldn't sell only former belongings, but also you will sell the stories that attach themselves to your possesions, in others words, "part of your life that they dig up".
It's attractive to buyers to know what is the meaning for you, what it played in your life.
On the other hand, we always have old things at home, they could have belonged to your grandfather or grandmother for years, and I'm sure that a lot of people would like to get.
So before take grandparents' possesions apart, you can star by auctioning each old possesion.
Finally, when you get enough money, then you can just give them away to help to somebody or donate them at charitable institution.

Are you looking for a really interesting person?
About my personality, well I’m a funny person; I’m sincere, competitive, not very affectionate but respectful, too thoughtful, intelligent, I really like to have interesting conversations about existential questions or another theme about our country, world or universe, a trivial theme, too, but sometimes I’m too relaxed and I’m not romantic.
I’m looking for a girl with the same common interests than me, for me that’s the most important in a relationship, you should be sincere, smart, attractive, too. I think the personality is important, too. Then when we will meet, be yourself. If you choose me, we can go out to the cinema, o another place that you want or it can be a surprise.
* All my life for sale * ... I-12
I would like to comment the article about the book "All my life for sale". First of all I think he is a brilliant person because, as we know a lot of people sell some things through the internet, but the way he offered his belongings was amazing. He let them know what he is selling is not a simple thing, he adds a value with the stories.
Olso I admired that he could have traveled to a lot of places and known a lot of people because of it, tha's remarkable. And thinking about all the new experiences he had trouht, I can even imagine him offering the suitcase he had used in his trips.
I have to admit that this is an interesting history.
Yours sincerely

All my Life for Sale
Iconsider that the author was mistaked about John D. Freyer, "Art Project".
First of all, freyer offer things used by internet, these things will have a shot time of life. Usually, when you buy a kitchen; radio or a computer in a store the item has one or two years of warranty, but in internet, if you buy something you will waste you money because it could descompose.
Second of all, buying things online is not safety to people that pay the bill of the item by internet with credit cards. They may be victims of a scam and lose all their money.
I strongly believe that Freyer is only trying to sell the used things that He not want to have at home.
Sincerely yours

Jhon D Freyer discovered how to get many buyers with the descriptions of each products and how to convince the people with interesting storiees of these.
I strongly belive that this is a good idea if you want to get money fast
and Jhon D. Freyer take the resources of the internet to solve his problem.
Whit this example John D. Freyer teach us how we can harness the resources of the Internet
