@CiaraNi @rafa_font I remember an interesting article pointing out this as one of the reasons for Brexit. British politicians felt often misunderstood and misunderstand others in Brussels, despite the aparent advantage of being the native speakers of the língua franca. But as most were monolinguals in English, it was hard for them to see past the error of the non native and also used a nuance that wouldn't get to the non native either.
