Communication, or the lack of it

I'm having a real problem with communication. The Sudanese language is supposed to be very close to the Southern Egyptain dialect, with the addition to a few words in their vocabulary.

However, that is far from it. My entire life I have been told that I talk very fast, that I sometimes skip some letters. Well, apparently everyone here is worse than myself. And strangely, I find that a lot of people here end a phone conversation by hanging up without saying a word.

It's getting on my nerves, since I started driving here, and I always need to ask for directions.
