The school has been recruited into a bank in Foshan, but what if I can't speak Cantonese? Will it affect my work?

It definitely has an impact! This is not only an obstacle in language communication, but also an influence on emotional communication. You are still young, you will soon understand and say yes!

It won't affect you, as long as you can speak Mandarin. Banks belong to the service industry. Banking associations have strict standards and requirements for services, and generally do not require the use of dialects.

Please feel free to leave your post. In the Pearl River Delta, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai and other cities, there are many migrants from all walks of life, accounting for a large proportion. They basically communicate in Mandarin in their work and life. In Guangdong for more than 20 years, there is no inconvenience, especially in the banking industry. The country also has the requirement of promoting Putonghua. Guangdong province has also done well, and the people are generally friendly. As long as you speak Mandarin in your work and life, you will respond in Mandarin. Children grew up in Hunan and joined Guangdong civil servants. She has never been bothered by her inability to speak Cantonese in her work and life. Moreover, she has long been dealing with enterprises. Many relatives and friends who make a living in Guangdong have never heard of their voice troubles. My sister and brother-in-law lived in Guangdong for 40 years, and my nephew was born and raised in Guangdong. So far, I can't speak Cantonese, and everyone is doing well without any inconvenience. Thanks to the open and tolerant Cantonese, the land of South Guangdong! This is one of the reasons why so many people live and work in Guangdong. Don't worry!

First of all, congratulations on entering the bank! Not being able to speak Cantonese should not affect the work of the bank, but learning Cantonese will enhance your added value and definitely help your work! As the saying goes, if you learn Cantonese, you can better integrate into the local life and work circle. After all, speaking the same language is also a kind of culture and identity.

In fact, many foreigners can't speak Cantonese. It's not that Cantonese is difficult to learn, but that I don't want to learn and dare not learn. They set up obstacles before studying, which made them feel difficult and afraid of losing face. In fact, any dialect has its own rules. As long as you want to learn, listen more and speak more, and master its laws, you will certainly learn! By then, Cantonese will bring unexpected gains to your life and work!

It has no effect on normal work.

However, the colleagues around you may all speak vernacular, so it will be a little difficult to get involved, and it will be difficult to participate in private dinners and activities between colleagues.

I have been in Zhongshan, Guangdong for three years, and I still can't speak Cantonese, but this doesn't hinder my life here. In Guangdong, it is enough to speak Mandarin, but there is really no need to learn Cantonese.

According to the description of your question, I personally feel that what you said is not perfect enough, so I need to make up your work situation. If you are wrong, please correct me again.

You are in the company, sitting in your seat, and other colleagues around you are chatting in Cantonese at any time. Whether you ask people to eat, ask people to get off work, ask people to smoke, or communicate at work, you are using Cantonese. And you are a grass-roots employee like them, so they make you feel unusually "isolated" in a different language from yours, so you are bored, and you may even suspect that they are deliberately rejecting you.

However, when they come to you, they don't speak in Cantonese, but in broken or standard Mandarin, and then you can communicate with them boldly.

Finally, because you care too much about your status as a foreigner and your status as a Cantonese speaker, you spend a lot of energy in the company every day, which makes you feel very annoyed.

This is my guess. Let's talk about my views on your problem in combination with my situation.

I grew up in Shenzhen, where Cantonese and Hakka are spoken at home and Mandarin is taught at school, so I have been trilingual since I was a child: metropolis. When I was a child, my parents taught me a truth: the more you can say one thing, the more things you can choose. Instilled by them, I am particularly eager to make friends with people who speak other dialects, so I learned a lot of Chaozhou dialect, Minnan dialect, Sichuan dialect and Northeast dialect (more than half a bucket of water) during my student career.

As a result, after I work, I use the local dialect and accent I have learned, which has contributed a lot to my work and personal life. For example, when I order in a local restaurant, I use the local language, so that I am not afraid of being slaughtered, and I will be able to get enough materials. For example, when I dock with Party A and suppliers in the company, it will be easier for me to achieve the expected goal by greeting or communicating with each other's hometown dialect. For example, I also used Sichuan dialect to chase my sister, and one of the successes was that she praised me for how to speak Sichuan dialect so well.

So, you ask me what to do, and I think you have two choices.

The first way is to start learning Cantonese at once, and you can learn daily communication, because if your colleagues find that you don't speak well or understand enough, they can't continue to communicate with you in Cantonese. I believe that people everywhere will communicate with another person who tries to speak the same language as you, but is extremely poor. Once or twice, you may think that the other person speaks badly, but he works hard, so you can be patient with him. But after three, five and several times, you will also choose to actively communicate in a language that both sides can use fluently. I believe you should understand why. Only by mastering the basic level of daily communication can we become one.

The second way is, if you have the choice and opportunity, you can leave Guangdong and go back to your hometown or live in some cities where most people speak Mandarin. Why don't I recommend you directly change to a company that speaks Mandarin? Because you just jumped out of a small environment (company) temporarily, you can't predict and control the whole environment (Guangdong). In order to stop bothering yourself, it is better to leave this land directly.

These are two ways that I personally think you can solve your fundamental problem.

The school enrolls students in a bank in Foshan, but what if I can't speak Cantonese? Does it affect work?

What if I don't know Cantonese? If you want to work conveniently, start learning Cantonese! Not being able to speak Cantonese has a little impact on work!

Because banks are service industries, they are in contact with all kinds of people. In Foshan, except Mandarin, Cantonese is generally spoken in life, especially for the elderly. What they say is vernacular, and sometimes you really don't understand. Although Mandarin is widely used all over the country, the elderly who are too old can't speak Mandarin, so if you want to do a good job, you have to understand Cantonese, at least!

In order to solve the problem of language unification, the state promotes Putonghua, but dialects, as a cultural heritage, can't disappear, so we should learn more, especially in that environment, the survival of the fittest!

I have been in Foshan for several years, and I can't speak Cantonese at ordinary times. Because I don't speak standard, I usually don't speak Cantonese.

You can enter this bank, which shows that the interviewer at that time has recognized your ability and knows that not knowing Cantonese will not affect your work. Of course, if you want to get in touch with customers, at least you should be able to listen to Cantonese, and then you can speak Mandarin with customers. I've always been like this. People will reply to you in Mandarin, and it won't affect your work. So you must be able to listen, or you don't know what they are saying, which will be embarrassing.

Personally, I think this kind of influence
