For people who travel, or are traveling soon to a foreigner country, knowing the basics in terms of asking for information and speaking on the phone is critical.  Here in Thailand, I've seen Chinese people walk into 7-11 speaking their language.  Do you think anyone outside of China will known Chinese, especially Thailand? This is why English is universal and should be obligatory in all schools worldwide.  However, some countries are scared, like Dubai/South Korea, and chose to ban learning English from primary schools.  One of the reasons were because western ideas, and the other was simply because they were afraid children would lose their mother tongue. 

Regardless if you believe it's right or wrong, communication is important in every country.  Anytime there's a breakdown, tensions rise and things, mostly conflicts, can happen.  So, here's a way to show a personality on the phone and just dealing with people in general.  Let's say this is a combination of developing a pleasing personality and learning expressions.
