Hey guys,
I've come to realize how freaking difficult it is to talk to people on the phone when their English skills are poor. Heck, I even thought SMS should be clear as day, but I nearly had a girl show up at my hotel recently, when I was about to sleep. While she's a real hottie, I needed the sleep and not a distraction.
So, I wanted to know how much do you discuss with a girl with limited English skills when arranging a meeting over the phone. Time, date, $$, hotel - isn't that straightforward? Now how do you mange things like "overnight", clothes, or whatever else? I keep forgetting how easy it is to explain things in person rather than over the phone, but who has time to do everything in person first, before meeting someone again???
Anyone keep around a dictionary of handy terms in the local language(s)?
