Perpetual Polish Charades
When in a country where you do not speak the native language you have two options 1) operate as if you are a deaf person or 2) live life like a perpetual game of charades. If you choose the latter, what could be a stressful, unsettling experience becomes, well, a game. The issue comes up when the other person doesn't realize you are playing a game and gets angry and frustrated. However, you can just pretend they are that one guesser who gets mad when they don't immediately get what the actor is trying to convey. Try it sometime!
