they have this really cool trick where they talk english but their lips dont match. which is why you never see any deaf chinese people: lipreading does not exist..

# American Movies
Everyone Speaks English - even aliens.
Simpsons quote "Actually I am speaking Rigellian, which by a strange coincidence sounds exactly like english . . ."

# I only have a problem
speaking to Americans, every other nationality understands my English.

The standard American reponse is to nod and agree when they don't understand you. Other nationalities at least ask you to repeat what you said.

Americans = Stupid (not all of them though)
