Benefiting from homestay

Sihani Ali, 60, can speak and understand a little Korean and Japanese.

Rather usual for a person from Kampung Haji Dorani Who has not set foot in either country, nor learnt foreign languages in school.

Instead, he picked up some foreign phrases from his "adopted foreign daugters", who stayed with him a few years ago under the Kampung Haji Dorani Homestay Programme.

He has also learnt a little bit more about Australian culture from his "daughter" Jamie Caldwell, who spent three days and two nights at the village recently.
