Thanks LU. But who really doesn’t understand what she is saying? There is a difference between someone taking a little longer to process and comprehend versus speaking another language entirely.
Yes honestly someone is coming to us in tears and we’re barking at her to speak more clearly.
She’s dealing with stuff! Gosh. You want her to take what she wrote and then spend how much time editing it, while she is in school and likely has homework to do as well. Plus she’s struggling with her parents and school teachers.
Even if it takes us a little more time to read it, isn’t it better to welcome the person and do the translation ourselves then make more hoops for her to get some help?
We can model by example by writing and communicating effectively, with proper English grammar and pronunciation. When and if she is ready, then she can reciprocate.
There is no use adding to her burdens when all she wanted was some help. She told us that she is sensitive to criticism already. I believe her.
