Definitely! It's just like we traveled to a different country, too. We also hosted a couplefrom Brazil :)
Most of the ones we hosted speak English well, but some, can also speak basic English. Even so, we still vibed like we can understand each other perfectly. Haha.

Wow, you've hosted some Brazilians, too! :D
This reminded me of some news during... I think it was either the World Cup or the Olympics here in Brazil, where Brazilian restaurant workers who didn't know any English succeeded in tending to the foreigner customers. Not saying it was easy, but they still managed it. It's a wonder how sometimes people that don't know much of the language can manage well on their own... sometimes even better than us who studied it! XD Where there's a will, there's a way :P .
At first look, language is considered a barrier in connecting with someone speaking a different language but it really isnt. Connection is way more than that. It speaks not only through language, but through expression, through actions. And yes, not easy but fulfilling in the end!
