The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last heunderstood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spokeslowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I lookedat each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it.
