My boss wants to send me to China for 2 weeks on a business trip, but I’m super stressed bcos i cannot speak Chinese. I only able to understand what they say but to respond.. it might take awhile 😮💨 I know the trip could be a great opportunity, so I don’t want to mess it up. I’m thinking of telling my boss honestly, maybe suggesting I need a bit more time to improve my language skills.

Oof, that’s nerve-wracking but also a huge career opportunity! Maybe be upfront with your boss but phrase it as, “I’d love to go, but I might need some help navigating conversations.” Worst case, tech is your best friend: translation apps, WeChat voice-to-text... :D
