21 August 17 afternoon nap

He held a small item in his hand and he told me the name of that item which I didn't understand.

I told him sorry my English not very good.

The he spoke to me in Cantonese. I replied him in Cantonese told him I knew a bit of Cantonese but asked him can he speak to me in teochew or Chinese.  I did this to engage him as I knew that he couldn't speak the 2 languages. But I wanted to express my intention that i want to understand him.

Interpretation:

Learn his language to understand him.

Sometimes he said something and it did not mean what you think it meant. 

Why not first express your sincere effort to understand him, it takes much more than a language to know him and his heart.
