<\/p>\n

It\u2019s my first PI Seminar in Vietnam and before the actual seminar day, a lot of things are running on my mind\u2026 Encountering new country, new people, new culture, and most interestingly, I will be having a translator while doing my speech. My topic is on Industrial Ethernet Network Design (Switched Networks and via Wireless LAN and Bluetooth).<\/p>\n

Having a translator is not a walk in the park. First of all, the topic is highly technical, so I need to always think of lay-man terminologies so that the translator will not struggle in translating what I am saying.<\/p>\n

Secondly, I need to talk in a pace that the translator will be able to catch up; I need to take care on where I am going to take a \u201cpause\u201d so the translator will not be overwhelmed by the bunch of sentences that I will be conveying without compromising the overall flow of the speech.<\/p>\n

\"pi<\/a><\/p>\n

Having said all these things, my bottomline is how I will make this speech effective and interesting with the so called \u201clanguage-barrier\u201d in the picture. I have passion for technology and in sharing my knowledge to my fellow engineers.<\/p>\n

To cut the story short, a day before the Seminar day, I spend atleast 2.5 hours on briefing my colleague (Vietnamese) Mr. Luan on how I planned to deliver this speech, on top of contemplating on how to deliver my speech.<\/p>\n

Then its seminar day, it turned out that we have 140 participants in the seminar hall. It\u2019s one of the highest turnouts for a PI Seminar in any country. One thing that I personally experience with Vietnamese engineers is that they are very keen to learn things.<\/p>\n

They really ask a lot of technical questions, which in effect, fuels my desire to share more and more of my knowledge\u2026and the language barrier that I was thinking a lot is surprisingly not really evident during the seminar.<\/p>\n

\"pi<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During my presentation, I observed that everyone is focused listening to what am I saying. Even though its 100% English, I believe that they understand what I am trying to convey. I even ask my PXC colleague after my presentation about his observation on how the crowd responds on my presentation, and the answer is positive.<\/p>\n

To all Vietnamese Engineers and Professionals, thank you so much for participating in this technological seminar. Kindly continue to patronate PROFIBUS\/PROFINET and Phoenix Contact will be glad to help and support you in your Automation requirements!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
