ESL Models

[Freq]

when you talk(type) to models whose primary language is something other than English, do you find yourself typing in broken English yourself?
I caught myself doing this today and thought it was quite funny.

My mother is from the Philippines so whenever I speak to her, I speak differently. Haven't really noticed much difference in my typing, although I haven't been to a room when I've needed to simplify my English.

Or maybe it's because I'm a simple girl, haha!

Not really, I usually find myself typing as Australian as possible using as much slang and shit I can fit in just to confuse them more...

Not broken English, but simplified English. It's not the manner I normally converse so I try to stay in my element and stick with those that eloquently speak English, American and Brit models. Language barriers make me uncomfortable. That being said, bravo to anyone trying to master two languages. It's harder than it looks and their intelligence is beyond average.

It depends on the language & if you know their main language well as I'm constantly around people who speak a foreign language & it can be frustrating but I've always believed that the universal language is love.

I try to use words I think a model whom speaks another language would understand. I have personal pet peeve with redundancy in speaking, so I try to use words I feel provide more of a variety in English.

When I speak to models who are second or third language English speakers, I have to consciously try to use simpler vocabulary.


However... I have also been piqued into learning Romanian, so it is always fun to learn from the models, and teach them at the same time.
