>Character can't speak English. >Still speaks to everyone as if they can understand what she's saying
Normies need to speak at all times
Low IQ ''people'' actually do this. I see it all the time, especially Russians and Polish.
it works in the context of europe:
>be native russian speaker
>go to, say, slovenia
>people don't understand you
>just speak more clearly, slower, louder and rephrase yourself
>pretty decent chance people will understand at least the gist of what you're saying
same with germanic and dutch languages, so it's a habit people pick up.
Rephrasing is the problem. Most repeat the exact same, expecting a different result.
Implying the listener is either deaf, slow or just hasn't listened well.
to be fair i understand maybe 10% of polish when spoken at normal speed. when someone slows down a bit and makes an effort to enunciate i understand 40%. if they say every sentence twice using different homonyms - it goes up to about 70-80%. same with dutch. probably the same for romance languages. but yeah, if someone came at me with mandarin or urdu or whatever - completely pointless.
I understand French pretty well. But when I'm at a table during lunchbreak, I understand close to nothing. They've got too many dialects and accents and talk too fast (they're all from different places). But when they talk to me like a newsreader does, I understand fine. Slow, formal, enunciated.
I actually had a Mexican make an effort at work the other day. He was looking for ice cream but didn't speak English. But he knew how to say "run racing" and from there I used my superior White intellect to deduce he wanted rum raisin.
>superior white intellect
>wagey at an ice cream parlor

Or they repeat the same, but louder. Instead of trying to word it differently.
I have colleagues lie this, who treat foreigners like morons while acting moronic themselves. Can't say I have much sympathy for the foreigners though: Don't speak the native language, have the English vocabulary of a three year old. Baffling. And those are the ones willing to work, the other ones just collect welfare. First thing I do when visiting a foreign country, just for travelling is learn some words. It's useful and a great way to break the ice. How are you going to go and live somewhere and not speak a single word of the native language and not speak basic English either. But they're smart enough to get around. It's just an unwillingness and it's disfespectful. But these are the people your government dumps on you and you just have to deal with them.
Canada moment lol
strayas the same
personally i like shovelling snow in a t-shirt in -30C weather while the imports at the convenience store gape in awe
But slower and louder does work. Many people do not enunciate. If two native speakers are talking to each other, it's fine. But someone with a rudimentary knowledge of a language will better understand slower and louder. Of course if there's zero knowledge, it doesn't help.
It's not about enunciating, they have zero knowledge. You can't even word it differently. I just take them by the hand and walk them through the process three times. Monkey see, monkey do, literally. I show them.
The fourth time I let them do it by themselves, intervening and repeating a fourth time if necessary (by showing). The fifth time, I follow along, don't correct anymore and see if they can do it and have paid attention.
What's even more common in movies is when an American character speaks to people who don't speak english and tries to brute force them into understand what he says by saying words louder or slower while aggressively pointing.

Did you take Spanish in school? You can't at least understand it, if not speak it right?
understanding is easier than speaking
God made it so for a reason. "First listen, then talk."
and then god spoke in tongues and he laughed and laughed and laughed...
