International Friend & How We Communicate

Hello.
We hope everyone would be in their pink of health. 

     For this post, we will introduce our International friend whom came all the way from China to study in our university, IIUM.



Our International Friend: Ji Xiao Yuan a.k.a Sana 


     We first texted each other before actually meeting up. Since, we both are usually awkward with people we're not close with, we were anxious of making new friend. But after meeting her, we hit it off rather quickly! 

     A little bit about our friend, her name is Ji Xiao Yuan and also know as Sana (her Muslim name). She is two years younger than us, 19 years old. She's still new and just got here for about two months or so. 

     Sana is a very friendly person and tried hard to start conversation with us despite still in a process of learning English. Through out the meet up, we quickly got over that awkward phase and the next thing we know we were teasing her about finding a husband in IIUM! Not to mention that she's very expressive so when we teased her on something her facial expressions were priceless!



     As Sana is still a beginner in English language, we communicate in simple English and tried to use other methods in communicating. Her for example uses dictionary in her phone which can translate the word she wants to English. We on the other hand, tried drawing on a piece of paper when explaining something so that it would be easier for her to understand hehe. 



     Thankfully, even though there are language barriers it did not stop us from talking to her for hours! (to the point that the cafe was closed and the workers had to ask us to leave) 



     All in all, we meet a very nice girl (with dimples!) and are looking forward to meet her again in our free time. For now that will be it but in shaa Allah we will post more on our friend soon!

Love,

A & N.
