A couple of months back, I was working as a waitress where most of the staff are Xhosa speakers. So, they’d mostly speak Xhosa as their English is terrible. I thought it could only help me to learn their language. It’ll make my job easier and it’ll really make working there more enjoyable. I was so right!

But now, it’s very tough as I found a new job (office type) and my interaction with Xhosa speakers is virtually nil. But, now I feel motivated to persist!
