They can speak the language, you can't!
Reminds me of the story of the traveller who is lost and asks a farmer working in the fields, "what is the name of the nearest town?", to which the farmer replies, "I don't know". "Then, where does this road go to"?, "I don't know". You're a real idiot aren't you? "You're the one who's lost".
I learned to communicate in Thai by hanging out in bars/snooker halls and having girlfriends that couldn't speak English.
