Tips for Overcoming Language Barriers.

That's an excellent, excellent question. Soft skills and composure, and I believe a certain amount of rhetoric and extreme active listening and engagement can reduce any sort of stress somebody has.

But if you can write yourself a cheat sheet and explain it properly so there's no strong accent there, that could reduce any sort of stuff.
