I dunno.
I never had a language problem wherever I've been.
Other problems, yes, but never a language problem.
I suppose it depends upon how one presents himself; I fondly remember all those in London, in Paris, in Rome, in Kiev, in small towns all over, who upon noticing my deafness, would take my hand or shoulder and walk me across a street, because I do have a habit of not looking.
Young children, good-looking women, old women, beautiful women, men, aesthetic women, who had absolutely no idea who or what I was, seemed to do this instinctively and intuitively.
