Thank you.
Learn to say ‘Thank you’ in a new language to someone you interact with this week.
While working on Cruise Ships, I have to admit that I was not completely fluent in any language other than ‘Oklahoman’. But I did make it a point to learn a few key phrases, such as ‘Thank you’ in many other languages. Trust me, it goes a long way if you make the effort.
Here are a few:
- Tusen Takk: Norwegian
- Spasiba: Russian
- Mauliate: Philippino
- Sagol: Turkish/Cyprus
- Grazzi: Maltese
- Dank schön: German
- Merci beaucoup: French
- Cheers: England
- No Problem: Jamaican… ok, so it’s really ‘Thank you’… but it seems as though in Jamaica, ‘No Problem’ is what you hear most 🙂
Have fun…and remember, trying is half the battle!
Do you have a ‘manner’ you would like to see covered on Manner Monday? Feel free to send me your thoughts. And, of course, please share ‘Manner Monday’ with your friends and colleagues.
‘Thank you’!
