teaching english in oman
"Oman is a very clean country. Islam is the religion followed there and the
national language is Arabic. There are plenty of expatriate communities with
Indians topping the numbers, followed by Filipinos and other Arabic speaking
countries, like Africans.
Omanis are quiet people and they do not interfere in other people's lives. They
like expatriates and lately English Language Awareness has increased. Omanis
like to speak in English with expatriates and are excited to know about the way
of life of other nationalities. Although there is awareness of nutritious food
or healthy food, Omanis love eating fast food and fizzy drinks. The older
working generation prefer bottled juices, sandwiches and quick grub at work.
They also like to eat biryani, chappatis and inter-continental dishes. They like
to go away with families on weekends for picnics, barbecues, beaches or travel
to nearby countries by road.
Omanis are sensitive about their dress, culture, traditions and language. They
are friendly and helpful and like to be approached nicely and politely. Some
younger generation Omanis are very fond of watching Hollywood, Bollywood and
Kollywood movies.
While in Oman for 10 years I realised that Omanis don't know much about
geography & history of other countries except Oman. They know India but they
don't know the capital and languages spoken in India. Because Oman has mostly
Keralites, that is India to them or even Mumbai. Being Asian, Omani traditions
are close to other Asian countries with slight differences. If you consider them
as your own, they will be the best people you will ever know!"
