Well, two years ago we had a trip with my classmates to Hiva. At the time, we saw a lot of tourists from Italy, Germany, Korea, China, and even Japan. Surprisingly, they were all speaking English, which made it very easy to communicate with them because many students in our class can't speak English. That's why we had a good trip, not only with my classmates but also with some foreign tourists. At that time, we helped a Japanese guy buy some souvenirs because he had no idea what to buy for his wife and children, and he even had some problems with his English. That's why we wanted to help him buy gifts, as he didn't know Uzbek at all. He couldn't talk with the older women, the old sailor women. So, we helped him buy souvenirs, and we had a great conversation. Even though his pronunciation was not that good, he spoke very well with us, and he was a very polite man. I guess at that time I improved my English a bit because speaking with foreign people helped me a lot in my speaking skills. I felt my pronunciation was better than his, and I was proud of myself. Not only about my pronunciation, but I also helped him a lot because I assisted him with directions, not just with buying products. I also taught him some Uzbek traditions and shared a lot of funny stories.
