Question

If you want to communicate with someone from another ethnic group with a different language background, is it possible for you to exchange ideas and share information with each other? How and what do you do if you get lost in an area where people don't know Indonesian?

​

Answer 1

It is possible and there are various ways to do so!

For example, ...

• Do charades so they can understand
• use G.oo.gle Translate and type what you'd like to say!
• find another language you all might have in common
• Find someone who speaks both of the languages so they can translate/interpret
• Learn a few keywords/phrases in the other language

If one gets lost and you don't know Indonesian, for example, then try the things listed above!
