Vol.122:How are you? with many language

Good morning. We arrived at Piraeus port in Greece.
We will stay whole days.

So I’m afford to go out.
After writing this blog, I will go out.

Piraeus is one of my favorite town.
Because when I arrived in Greece in April, I stayed for 1 week at the beginning.
I stayed to get certificate in training center.
That’s why I have many memories.

And after I got certificate, I didn’t have opportunity to go out in Piraeus town.
So finally I can make my heart’s desire.


Today, let me talk about casual topic.

There are about 40 nationalities in our crew.
It means there are each greetings(How are you?→Good!) as well.

Let me show example below.
Japanese：Genki desuka?→Genki desu!
Spanish：Como estas?→Bien
Greek：Tee Kah-nees?→Ka-lah
etc.


Recently I try to use each greetings to our colleague.
For example I meet colleague who speaks Spanish,I use “Como estas?”
What happen after that? The colleague looks happier than if I use “How are you?”
Because their mother tongue is Spanish.

Some of them ask me “How to say it in Japanese?” after these greetings.
I would answer “Genki desuka?”

Interestingly, the after day they ask me “Genki desuka?”
Needless to say, I would be happy.

Through these greetings, each of us can build better relationships.


I do it just to enjoy, but it makes good effects as well.
I will try these kind of greetings with my creative mind.
