Can’t understand the local dialect

Hehe, I was the same at first; it was really tough. Now, several years have passed and things have gotten better.

Just communicate more; there’s no need to learn the local dialect! It’s better if everyone uses Mandarin!

Actually, dialects are quite interesting too. Hehe, once you get interested in them, you can learn them quickly

There’s no need to study deliberately; over time, one will naturally be able to understand it

The reason he remains a \"veteran worker\" is that he emphasizes localism; in today’s still-conservative society, such people achieve nothing!

:Lol, I work within the same province; the dialects are pretty similar. Hehe, I can understand it – no problem at all

Everyone here speaks dialects from top to bottom; it was a bit hard to get used to at first, but after two or three months I could understand most of it

{:2_38:} It depends on whether you have a talent for languages

Comment from a friend on the 6th floor: To call speaking the local dialect conservative is to say that it means one will be unsuccessful and can only become a \"veteran worker\" – that’s a bit extreme, I think. Our factory has four managers, three of whom attended university in the north, and two of them still speak the local dialect in public. Nearly one-third of the managerial-level leaders in the group company also speak the local dialect in public; one of them is even a Ph.D. from Tsinghua University. . . Personally, I still advocate speaking Mandarin, especially for friends from other places who don’t understand the local language; even if it’s awkward, one should speak “Mandarin”. For example, the term for \"screwdriver\" in Mandarin is called \"qi zi\" in Yunnan and \"gai dao\" in Sichuan. Everyone understands it in Mandarin, but it takes time to get used to the local terms, and sometimes this can lead to funny situations. When working in another place, it takes about three months to be able to understand the local language. You have to say it yourself; it takes about a year to grasp the basics. Personal opinion, for reference only.

It won’t be long; the few college students who come here can generally understand it within a week
