It's important to understand that:
* It's not a reflection of a person's intelligence or worth. They are simply communicating in the best way they know how.
* It can be very challenging to learn a new language. People should be praised for their efforts, not criticized for their mistakes.
* "Broken English" is a subjective term. What one person might consider "broken" another might find perfectly understandable.
Instead of "broken English," it's more respectful to use phrases like:
* "Non-native English speaker"
* "Learning English"
* "Speaking English as a second language"
* "Having difficulty with English"
Remember that communication is a two-way street. If you find it difficult to understand someone's English, try to be patient and ask clarifying questions.
