But I've be told to interpret the thing that boss wanted to tell him. "Am I polite?" "Is that alright?" " Will he be angry?"I thought. What a tough thing! My English is soooo poor!

Hard to Talk

In fact, my coworker is a foreigner. I have a problem to communicating with him. I am afraid of talking with him. I do not understand how to talk. But I've been told to interpret the thing that the boss wanted to tell him. "Am I polite?" "Is that alright?" "Will he be angry?" I thought. What a tough thing! My English is so poor!

 

Don't be afraid, he probably won't bite, even though he is a foreigner. Besides, if everyone who ever fell off a bicycle was afraid to get back on, the world would be full of people who have ridden only once and there would be nobody who could ride a bike.

Hey, don't worry! If your task is to explain the boss's words to him, do so in the first place. This co-worker of yours will figure out himself that if you say something wrong, it's not because you are not polite, you are just unaware of that. Just be friendly and helpful, and the things will work out! (By the way, very often these foreigners are not English, Americans etc., that is English is not their mother tongue, in this case their English is probably not perfect, so they won't care about your mistakes.

Take the initiative! The more you will talk to him, the more natural it will go! ;) 加油!
