SP and clients not speaking same language

[Jordd]

“Learn french” is just nonsense. No body learns a language for hobby. “Learn conversational basic french” or “learn enough to at least understand it” is much more realistic.

That’s ridiculous. You came on here asking for advice on your problem and were given said advice.

You have 2 choices: either learn the language or see providers who speak yours.

Probably you are too young to realize the value of learning (at least the basics of) another language or too old to care.

Some people don't have second language talents that are as facile as others and nobody seems to understand this. Same thing as IT talent or skills, engineering talent or skills etc.

Nonsense. If you were in a foreign jail for months, believe me that you would learn the language, at least basic conversation.

I think if the agency had sent in the same interpreter for the first 10 or so minutes of your SP session, you could have had a good healthy exchange on sexual strategy and so forth with the SP. This would have alleviated any strangeness and increased mutual pleasure.

Now that’s an idea. Have a threesome with a girl who can translate!

I wasn't talking about the "necessity is the mother of invention" situation, and what I said was most certainly not nonsense. I was talking about there being a wide variance in talent for foreign languages in the human population. I have witnessed it in my own family. My parents lived in other countries besides the USA. My mother was extremely absorbent and adaptable in foreign languages. My father was not. He would also be the first one to admit it. I unfortunately inherited my father's facility for languages other than our native tongue.

That's a totally different situation than being thrown in jail and being able to pick up a few essentials words in order to get food, or perhaps avoid a beating. I was talking about the next level, which is actually becoming functional in a second language, with little effort, and without being in a life or death or pressured situation.

Just learning a few words can make a lot of difference.
Everyone likes to be addressed in their own language no matter how bad your accent.
One of my children speaks 7.

I don’t necessarily like French shoved down my throat but if I see my French is better than a persons English I will definitely try talking in French even if it is difficult.
I made sure my children could speak minimum 3, French, English and my mother tongue. the more languages you speak the better off you are and you never know when another language will come in handy. The world is a huge place.

I dont think anybody does it with little effort. I think a lot of people dont do it out of plain intellectual laziness relying on the other part to make the effort.

I doubt any agency would have bothered hiring a sign interpreter. Lol

She did leave me a small note on her way out with a message telling me to contact her directly at her phone number if i wanted to see her the next time i was in the city & with her real name on the note. She mentioned esrlier that she mostly worked in Toronto & would also be open to seeing me if i happened to be there. Back then i used to travel to Toronto as much as i travelled to Mtl. Anyways the good thing about not being able to communicate much is that it leaves more time to enjoy some good ol’ wham, bam thank you ma’am! Lol

They work as independent contractors. Their primary job is usually with state or province but they work on an hourly wage for others who hire them. All the agency would need to do is hire them to follow the lady around and function as her driver for her shift. They get paid as a driver and a negotiable rate for their time engaged in sign interpreting services.

I have also worked with foreign language interpreters. Some of them do it as a second job. Usually the primary job is working in a court and the secondary jobs are for what attorneys need them to interpret and translate in sworn deposition testimony and sometimes in other proceedings. It's the same thing with sign language interpreters but there is fewer of them. They get sworn in to translate or interpret truthfully just like the testifying witness.

Funny story but I once needed to hire an interpreter of a somewhat rare Eastern European language to depose an old lady who slipped and fell on an allegedly slippery sidewalk at my client's pharmacy. It was a snowy day and I couldn't understand why she walked through the snowy parking lot and entrance to the store rather than drive to the drive through window since she was driven to the pharmacy by her husband who was likely driving very slowly. There was no reason to get out of the car. So I asked her if she was aware of the drive through window. She said she was. And then asked her why she didn't use it. And she gave this very long answer in her native language. Probably a 2 minute answer. So the interpreter says, translating her answer, "yeah I thought about doing that, but I wanted to show the pharmacist my medicine so I brought it into the store with me."

And I am sitting there saying to myself....WTF?????! All that was 1 sentence????? Unfortunately this happens at translated depositions and not much you can do about it. I never got an answer to my question that made one iota of sense. Sometimes that is a good thing if you actually go to trial and don't settle the case. The strategy there would be leave the nonsense answer on the record and let her attorney try and get her to correct it. Which he never did.

Google why learn a new language and let me know if you see anything like “you will have easier time with escort or client”

Ah yes, whenever I need to understand what hobbyists think, I would Google it, because we all know Google loves hobby content.

Instead of you know... doing something crazy like.... reading about it on a hobbyist board where hobbyists and SPs are talking about the actual topic.

To the OP: There's an entire section on "international hobbying " so it is very common to have sex with people you can barely speak to. Just check "other cities" reviews and you will find hundred of reports on sex tourism in places like Asia or South américa.

If deep conversations are part of your enjoyment, then restrict yourself to ladies that speak your own language
