I think to give instruction its very easy if you know how does that work, and if you had the coffee machine like in this video.
I never gave instructions in English. I hope can do it soon.
To be honest, so far I did not instruct people in English. I wish to learn English at that level to instruct people correctly and precisely in English.
Honestly, I've never ever gave instructions in English, but still sometimes I gave them with my native language
I never give instructions in English but I hope do it one day :(
I have never given instructions in English. If I get the chance, I would like to do it.
One day, I gave instruction to a foreigner in Istanbul.I guided her how to reach Sirkeci district while using public transport.
I never gave instructions in English, but I wish to do to help others, for this, I work hard to learn English.
The last time I give instructions is during my work. As product manager, I always review tasks for my teams. Firstly I write instructions for the modification, and after I will say it.
During my job, I'm always instructions with my clients. But it is very difficult to communicate because I'm not good at the English language.in order to do that I need to work very hard and get better results. I'm trying to work on it.
