Language barrier.

I have very little grasp of any language other than Scots. English would be a whole different ball game for me if I could be bothered to learn it.

I'm having problems making myself understood in Mozambique as my accent is strong and my Portuguese is worse than shit. I can say "hello" and that's about it. Thankfully the locals here mostly speak English and if I was brave enough to try a South African accent I'm sure I'd have no problem being understood. But I aint about to go that far to make myself understood.

I'll just stick to the good old fashioned point at what you want and smile technique. It's far easier.
