Leaving everything behind and starting a new life away from home is scary and stressful. Imagine starting from scratch in an unfamiliar place. Now imagine not knowing the language. Scary, right?
However, it doesn’t have to be. For many foreigners living in China, the language barrier is a huge problem. Many expats don’t overcome it for years. It’s funny how little we think about language until we lose the ability to understand the people around us. So, those getting ready to start a new chapter in their lives, and get a job in the world’s highest growing economic region – China – need to plan for the language barrier.
Is the language such a big problem?
In a word – yes. Chinese has many different dialects. What’s more, all of them are quite hard to comprehend when you’ve spent your entire life communicating by using completely different sounds and signs. But that leaves us with the question – if the language barrier is such a huge problem, why does China have so many expats? How do foreigners living in China find their way around?
How does Sherpa’s food delivery app help?
Well, thanks to the ingenuity of welcoming locals and apps such as Sherpa’s, foreigners living in China have it much easier than they did 20 or 30 years ago, for example. Thirty years ago, ordering food delivery was like playing Russian roulette – if you didn’t know the language, you had no idea what you’d get! Well, you could have always cooked for yourself, but buying groceries would bring a whole new set of problems, doesn’t it?
What’s more, when you’re settling in into a new work environment, in a whole new country, meeting new people wherever you go – cooking isn’t at the top of your list of priorities. Not to mention that you want to socialize, and share experiences, food being one of them, with others. So, the best solution is to order in. But how do you do that when you have no idea what your menu options are?
