Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm in the Bahamas trading for my new job it's wonderful everyone's so welcoming I'm having a lovely time but I am finding the Caribbean accent quite difficult to understand
I would stay behind and I would just say hey look I'm really sorry but I just couldn't I couldn't grasp what you were saying so would you go through it with me again slowly
don't beat yourself up make sure you ask questions make sure you speak to the lecturer speak to the people that are in that training session with you

I have recently experienced this in my new job so I wanted to make a video sharing my experience and giving advice on how you can resolve this issue if you find yourself in the same situation as me.
