Honestly it's not too hard to talk to people who speak in another language. A few weeks ago, I was in Guatemala helping build schools for their country and providing medical attention for their country's sick. We were working with the Guatemalan Army's engineers as well as the locals and their kids liked to hang out with us on the job sites. All you really have to do is use body language. If they came up to me and said something in spanish I would just say 'no hablo espanol' (which I think I means I don't speak spanish, but I have no freakin' idea). And it got to the point where we would we knew each other names and would joke around with each other ( I will never forget little Gabriel, who is a 6 year old little Guatemalan girl who was at the job site with us everyday, walking up to us and drawing a dick in the sand. I don't know who taught her how to do that, but she did it.) but we still never understood a word of what each other was saying. We could buy things from the vendors around without any problems, the language barrier was never really an issue.
