Ok guys, I think, today is very nice day. Alhamdulillah.. ^^ I met my pupil, Feby. She always makes me happy and laugh. Also, I met Mr. Taufik. He is my favourite teacher. Moreover, I didn't have dirty clothes. It makes me happy.
------Well guys, "Have you ever seen a tourist in somewhere?" in a vacation place maybe? I think you ever. But you cann't, cz your English isn't very well maybe. Guys, that's only a mindset. Change it and try, okey? Hm,,, I think actually this way is the best way to learn English with foreigner directly. But sometimes, it is difficult to practice it to them because we don't brave to do that. Why? Cz we have different ways in meeting each other, culture, body and so on.
-----Okey, There some tips of meeting foreigner for the first time :
1. Make sure that they are not busy.
2. We consider that the foreigner is friendly.
3. Try to get close with them from their front.
Hm,, or make sure they know your coming. :D
4. Greet them and always smile at them.
5. Don't make your face scaring, but please be relaxed.
6. Don't be afraid and disappointed if they don't receive you or welcome you.
Of course, say sorry to them.
7. Don't begin talking about religious, politic, marriage, age, etc.
Hm,,, Cz they think that's a privacy. Unless they ask you to talk about them, of course. ^^
-----Ok, there are some tips beginning to talk for the first time :
*with young people
> Hallo, May I practice my English with you?
> Hi... Do you have a good time in. . .
> Hallo there, is it alright if I join you to practice my English?
*with older people
>Good morning, Sir. We are student of senior high school/University and today we would like to practice our English with foreigner. Is it ok if practice with you?
-----Then, If they said, "OK". Continuing Conversation by this question :
> My name ... I am from ... and what about you, what's your name?
> Where do you come from?
> By the way, is it your first time to come here?
> Usually, with whom do you come here?
> Why do you come to visit my country?
> Any way, where are you staying now?
> And how long will you stay here?
...
Ok guys, I think that's all. May be useful.
