Cultural Diversity

The one person comes to mind when I think about cultural diversity in the workplace, would be Ms. Obloque.  Ms. Obloque is a Pakistan, who speaks different than the majority people I work with.  Most time it is very hard to understand what she is saying .  When I communicate with Ms. Obloque, I usually try to look directly into her eyes and mouth while she is speaking, to help get a better understanding of what she is saying.  Although, Ms. Obloque struggle to speak English, she works very hard with the children, and practice her English skills daily.  I would like to learn how to listen to her closely, so that I would not show any signs of misunderstanding to Ms. Obloque.
