In continental Europe I have often been in a room with people from 10 different countries say Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Poland, India, China, Korea, England. Everyone could understand each other's broken English with the exception that half of the people couldn't understand English guy. What always puzzle me is the fact that the English doesn't consider that the room language isn't their mother tongue and they should also try to speak this universal dialect that everyone understands.
