Chapter 20: Kannada language cards
Kannada Language Cards
Right! I know what you mean! It was a shock to me, too!
After talking for a while, I suddenly came back to myself. The cold stares of the outpatient nurses.... The doctor with a troubled look on his face. Oh no! The outpatient clinic had been stopped. This would push clinic hours off the schedule!
I bowed my head deeply and said,
I'm sorry! I got distracted from work and started chatting!"
So? What did he say?"
The doctor in charge of CKD asked.
He's already scheduled for an organ transplant, it seems. So he says hell receive treatment in Japan until he can return to his home country."
That's good to hear. Then, we will decide on the hospitalization procedure and future plans later at the conference. Dr. Marcus, you should also be present at that time.
Okay.
The outpatient staff was very interested and came to take a peek.
"This is Kannada, you see. It's the official language of the South Indian state of Karnataka, and They use a unique script called the Kannada script. For example, this one reads "" "Kannada."
"Wow! I dont understand it at all!
Screams in the outpatient department.
Even the Japanese alphabet is the same for people from countries that use ABC. Chinese is difficult. But Japanese is difficult to learn for those who are hiragana and katakana, etc. And there's lots of first person. I, boku, ore, watashi, etc, this is also strange for people from other countries.
After everyone was satisfied, the clinic hours came to an end. Then, I went to the ward to give the patient the cards. He looks anxious, but when he sees me, he smiles. So I hand him the cards I made earlier.
"What's this?"
He takes it and flipped through the cards.
"With this, you should be able to manage the words you need to use in conversation while you're here in the hospital. If you still have trouble, you can call me.
Thank you."
He held the cards I gave him with great care and tears filled his eyes with happiness. Later, he was safely discharged from the hospital and returned to his own country."
