Pavan
is now at the museum and meets the secretary. He asks for the director, but,
the secretary speaks far too quickly for him to understand. That’s why Pavan
repeatedly asks her to repeat what she said, or say it in a difficult way.

Sorry, a word you often want to hear or use
if:
●
When you accidentally enter
someone or want someone to move.
●
You did not hear what was said and
would like to repeat it.
●
You are late on it and do not
reach an appointment.
●
You make an error that goes beyond
others.
However, you can not use as sorry in English
to regret something that has happened to others, like "sorry you've got
bad news."
"Sorry" always means that something
is your responsibility.

Ireland is a multilingual country. According
to the 2015 Census of the Population there are approximately 182 languages
spoken in Ireland. This means that more than one in 10 people in Ireland speak a language other than Irish or
English at home, with the diversity of language speakers differing greatly
depending on where you live. So the Irish are well used to
people who have varying levels of fluency in English. The Irish accent can take
a little time to get used to and there are many regional accents. In former
times the pronunciation of English in Ireland, sometimes called Hiberno English
was influenced considerably by the sounds of the Irish language.
