Give it 48 hours. Nearly every client who isn’t a native English speaker tells us the same thing: the accents (British, Australian, Kiwi, the lot) are a proper crash course on zero sleep, and then it just clicks. One of our German clients arrived exhausted and couldn’t follow half the group at first, but within two days she’d already made friends, and by the end of the season she was keeping up with the ski-slope banter as well as anyone. Turning up nervous about the language is completely normal. Turning up and not trying is the only real problem.
