you have to understand yourself first before you understand others. or sometimes, it takes to have an experience (of the same feeling or similar things) to get to know the feelings of others. 'Understanding others' is a skill that can be gained and developed. maybe, this could help you on how to improve your skill: 1. be patient - don't be disturbed (engulfed by your temper) as this will make your 'eyes closed'. 2. know the situation - try to know the reason behind the situation. 3. sympathize - it's like 'putting yourself to other's shoes' so you may feel whatever their sentiments are. 4. avoid being subjective. :)

To understand the others: If the others are foreigners you need to have the means to understand them, i,e, you need to master their language to establish an efficient communication. If they are not, and you can understand them, just put yourself in their own situation: you will surely have a better understanding of the others.

Listen to them with your heart...

Learning a foreign language can be difficult. Ask them to speak slower so that you can understand what they are saying.
