Hi everyone,
It is widely agreed that speaking Maldivian is essential for a successful integration in Maldives. Do you agree? Share your experience!
Do you speak Maldivian? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a language course in Maldives?
If not, how do you cope with daily activities? Is it easy to communicate in a different language with Maldivians?
Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi, it is nt essential that we need to know Maldivian language because most of the people (who works) knows English, but for being a nurse l felt knowing a local language is very easy for dealing patients. Atleast if we speak some words they may feel comfortable and it helps for nurse - patient relationship.
From my personal experience learning Maldivian language is not v tough. It has similarity with Hindi, even though most of the people knows Hindi especially younger generation , all are fond of watching Hindi movies and dramas.
I also cant speak well in Maldivian language but can make others understand what l thought . it helps me in lot of situations .
I think there is no special place where teaches this language. English is mandatory for survive in Maldives , as l told yu before most of the people who knows English.

Being able to communicate in local language is , of course , a great help to ease the mixing up in the local community . Even though it's not "a must", the importance of knowledge of local language lies on where and with whom you work . For example , if you are working in executive level , the knowledge of local language is not required , but if you are working in such a position where you have to communicate directly with local people like doctors , nurses and other health care professionals, it gives added ease and advantage .
Now regarding the place of learning maldivian , there is no such a place in my knowledge but we can learn it easily from our colleagues.
Again , the comfort of learning dhivehi, maldivian language, depends the mother-tongue of the individual. Generally it's easier for a person who is familiar with hindi , bangali, nepali , sinhalese because of the common origin of these languages and big number of words shared among them.
