How can you be 100% positive about the landlord throwing the food away ? Isn't it possible that another roommate did it? — OldPadawan 2 mins ago

Sounds like you did just that, and she's not interested. We can tell you how to say it again, but she's still allowed to say "no". — Erik 2 mins ago

If you want to try, you'll need to share more details about what exactly happened. Something this serious will certainly not be fixed with a generic "I'm sorry", it'd need to very specifically address what happened, why it happened, and why it'll never happen again. — Erik 2 mins ago

Hey there! We require answers here to be backed up by personal experience or external sources. So, could you edit to tell us about a similar situation you were in the past? Who was involved, what did you say and how did the other person react? — Ael 2 mins ago

I hurt her sibling. Its just happening like that I can't help it. It'll never again, I've learned my lesson and promise it won't happen again. I just want a second change to fix it. — Shota 2 mins ago

@Ael - Not sure what you want. I never had anyone ask me to help improve their English. I worked for a fortune 500 company where I interacted with a lot of foreign employees. I've traveled to Mexico, Canada, Australia and Japan. Japan was by far the weirdest. I could recognize a newspaper or a map but was unable to read anything on it. I couldn't yell policeman, fire or ask where the bathroom was. I was with a Korean engineer and he could read about half of a Japanese menu, but didn't understand the spoken language at all either when the waiter talked to him in Japanese. — MaxW 2 mins ago

@Arel - I guess the tie in might be something along the lines that I was diplomatic enough not to ask German engineers about Nazis, or the Japanese about WWII in which my father was fighting the Japanese in the Pacific. // A really funny thing in Japan was that I asked a technical question about the equipment. 5 minutes of conversation in Japanese ensued and the English reply to me was simply "Yes." I died laughing and said "Too bad I don't understand Japanese. Your conversation was a lot more interesting that that!" That got the Japanese engineers laughing too. — MaxW 52 secs ago

@MaxW the question is trying to achieve to get this woman to disclose more about her personal life, in a setting that at least started out as just an assignment for some study. Ael isn't asking you for a list of countries you visited, but to provide experience that shows that doing the things you mention in your first paragraph will help achieve the goal as described in the question. — Tinkeringbell ♦ 16 secs ago

So, if you used any of the first paragraph on the foreign employees you interacted with, describe how that went! Include the cultural background of the employee, how they responded to your prompts (did they start disclosing more about their personal life?) and whether they seemed happy with these prompts or found you nosy, for example ;) That's what is meant with 'experience as back-up'. Right now I'm reading an opinion (I would do this), but no experience that you're basing your approach on that 'proves' this may work and help the question asker reach their goal. — Tinkeringbell ♦ 8 secs ago
