   I worked for a German company for a number of years (they acquired us).  One   
   of my first trips to Germany cost me a month of my life.  It actually wasn't   
   half bad.  When I heard for the first time, "I have a stomach feeling," I had   
   to put it into context ("I have a gut feeling" or "I have a strong feeling").    
   Similar, I had to catch myself whenever I'd use "bad English" whenever I'd   
   talk (especially when I was trying to make a point).  Ultimately, it was a   
   learning experience for both of us.   
      
   Skype, it might be interesting to help out--a trial by fire!  :)
