Language Barrier
“I didn’t understand a word of that.”
“Are you stupid or do you not speak ____?”
“How do you say ____?”
“What are they talking about over there?”
“Was that a curse?”
“I didn’t understand a word of that, but it sounded bad.”
“Why are you smiling? What did you/they just say?”
“Don’t try to trick me into insulting people again. I’ve still got a bruise from last time.”
“Why is your language so hard?”
“You have no idea what I’m saying, do you?”
“Speaking slower doesn’t help when I don’t understand the words coming from your lips.”
“I know enough of your language to not starve. That’s it.”
“Will you help me translate this?”
“They’re laughing. That can’t be good.”
“Hey, I know that word!”
“You said my name. Are you talking about me behind my back again?”
“I just called you something stupid, didn’t I?”
“Are you trying to get someone to punch you?”
“Put your hands down before you get us in trouble.”
“That gesture doesn’t mean what you think it does.”
“Your manners are atrocious.”
“I can’t tell if you’re rude or just ignorant.”
“Only a three-year old would talk like that.”
“Where did you learn to speak ___? In a gutter? You sound like a hooligan.”
“If you spoke any more formally, I might mistake you for royalty. You need to learn some slang.”
“No one says things that way anymore.”
“Just close your mouth. It’s safer.”
“I’ll translate for you.”
“I’m sorry, I’m a bit rusty.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll teach you.”
“I love sharing my language with people.”
“Keep practicing. You’ll get it eventually.”
