We were at a local fast food place the other day – and it was an Asian who served us – this person is not young – in fact i believed she had been in Canada for a long time. But as soon as she started to serve us – even I cannot really understand her very well, so I quickly ordered and went on my way. Many people had asked me if it was easy getting work in Canada – and even though like that girl I saw at this fast food place – I can imagine that our accent may be a little bit of a hindrance – just to get a job in any good places. Even though I pride myself as having English as my first language – there are still some people who claimed they cannot understand me at my own store. So when I think about getting a job out of the comfort of the store – when Chloe is older – i too wonder if it would be a hindrance or a setback. Should I start talking like the “ang mohs” Canadians? should I be more Canadianized? But I do like the way i speak – like many people would be stubborn and exclaimed but yes! I think if i want to get a job outside of this comfort zoen – I better start speaking like a Canadian – if not a American eh.
