How can I help non-native English speakers?
Speak slowly, use clear pronunciation, and ask the other person to speak more slowly as well. Use simple words when possible. Refrain from using idioms or expressions that your conversation partner may not understand. Be honest!
Which is the most challenging form of communication for non-native speakers of English?
Speaking. Speaking is more difficult than listening because the participant's vocabulary may be a bit limited. Furthermore, English phonemes and grammar are often very different from a non-native speaker's mother language, making an interaction even more difficult to understand.
