Creator's Key Takeaways

I am finding the Caribbean accent quite difficult to understand and I can honestly say I'm I'm very lucky I've never been in this position before

if you don't say anything and pretend that you understand and you've got it and the situation comes where you need to implement the things that you learn

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

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Find a peer (Paisano) after class to summarize what was taught

✓Speak to the instructor privately after class to ask for a slower explanation or a different session

✓Don't be afraid to admit you don't understand to avoid trouble during implementation

Feeling stupid or rude for asking instructors to repeat themselves — Ask the instructor privately after the session or find a classmate to explain it to you instead of interrupting the group.

YouTube Video Description↓

Hey sailors, When you get onboard any ship you have to sit through numerous trainings, and it can be very frustrating when you cant understand the teacher due to them having a thick accent, or not speaking the same language at the same level. 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. 🚢 WANT TO WORK ON CRUISE SHIPS? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sail For Success is the step-by-step course that helps you apply, stand out and get hired. - Join the course: https://www.cruisingascrew.com/course/#next-step - Free masterclass: https://www.cruisingascrew.com/free-training/ AMAZON ---------------- UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/cruisingascrew?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_4H6JEPED11QY9EN51B1D USA https://www.amazon.com/shop/cruisingascrew?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_K0ZM4SJA0VRQPH7168AE WATCH NEXT ---------------------- How I got my job with Virgin Voyages https://youtu.be/r9jPl59Ddcg How to deal with an awkward roommate https://youtu.be/9IDQEA9WT9M FOLLOW --------------- Website I https://www.cruisingascrew.com Instagram I https://www.instagram.com/cruisingascrew/ Thank you for watching
