    First off pretending there’s an actual language barrier in Europe where everyone in a service job speaks English is quite dated.

      I met a cleaning lady in London who couldn’t speak English.

      It happened last year in a nice hotel, and I found out as tried to ask for a towel.

      Tbh it was kind of funny to think about it later, the one place you would not expect this to happen is London, yet it’s the most logical place that this would happen due to the insanely high demand for workers for these jobs.

      Oh, that would depend a lot on what country you’re in

        I wouldn’t really stress the “a lot” there, really.

        You won’t have to go far to find an English speaking country in Europe as there are over 370 million English speakers out of about 450 million EU residents!

        Granted that is the EU, not Europe in general. Sure, in some backwater Russian town that is technically in Europe you might have a problem with getting understood in English, but “problem” is “Проблема” in Russian. And that reads as “problema”. “Toilet” is “Туалет” = “tualet”.

        So I really can’t imagine a scenario in which you can’t communicate “a problem with the toilet” without dragging someone in to the loo and shoving their face in your pile.
