Kinda serious- if you’ve ever seen deadwood there’s quite a few scenes where the English speaking people have to communicate with the Chinese (mandarin?) speaking people

A bit sweary, but a good example of how stuff gets done – basically you point / mime and shout/swear until you get your point across

Edit : more than a bit sweary!
