Haha, reminds me of a holiday ages ago in France.
Someone left their handbag behind or something, and my friend said “I’ll sort it out, I know French”. To be fair, he did. But when I went back to tell him where we ended up, he was speaking slowly and loudly to the poor french person.
Which reminds me of another time in France, having breakfast. I ordered “orange juice” and the waiter looked confused. So I said it again slower, and his face lit up and said “ah, jus d’orange”.
It is easier to understand a foreign language when it’s spoken slowly (well, not too slowly).
The loud part is just for the benefit of the speaker.
