I've had no problems speaking with people of all races and walks of life...well, the ones that speak English at least.  

You can't speak to a frenchman unless he speaks english (or your language) and if he doesn't, yelling slowly at him in your language won't make the subject any clearer.

I found a "handyman" worker who speaks only broken English, but enough to understand 80% of what we talk about.So the pros are that he's generally cheaper than a contractor.

We provide 24/7 interpretation over the phone, help them find and contract cellphones/cable/internet, find schools, provide translation at hospitals, and many other services to assist non-English speakers.One request we get a lot is help dealing with rental homes (both apartments and single family units).

In the infamous words of a great french lady I had for tenant (in her broken English)..."

For me, EVERY call will be answered by a native English speaker and I'll get a transcript of every single call the next morning in excel format.

First, Im from Serbia and english is not my first language so sorry for that.I want to become Landlord in my city.I have land which has one house that is not finished.

Many Chinese that speaks English use christian names but D. could stand for Dong or some Chinese family names.

And of course even though we both speak English we still can't understand each other.

Might be 15 in this whole area and I'm sure none have sold within a year around here, most are French provincial, English tutor style, contemporary around here went out 20 years ago. 5,000 sq. ft. and price is guessed at by the daughter, (a PITA who thinks she knows RE, an agent in Texas 20 years ago) telling mom it's 500K after her renovation, the daughter painted cabinets in pastel colors.
