George Town : Customers will not just walk in even if you open your doors widely. You need to sell, but even if you have your selling skills down pat,imagine how hard it must be to do it in a language you are not use. That was the case here yesterday for 35 home stay operators from Lahar Yooi, a hinterland of paddy field stretching to the horizon 10 km from Butterworth. Their assignment was, using only English, to sell their home stay to foreign tourists.
"It's my 1st time talking to mat saleh (Caucasian)! i'm so nervous."Norliah Abdul Rani muttered just before she readied a book describing her kampung and pitched her homestay to Australians Justin and Lucy Hughes at Esplanade. As she went on in English she was rewarded by their nods of understanding. "Phew! i calmed down when they started nodding. I enjoyed it very much," Norliah,59 Smiled.
The group has been learning English since December under a programme by Prime Minister's  Deparment's Implementation Coordination Unit with cooperation from the Bayan Baru Community College.
