Maybe your man should consider teaching the language, at introductory level, or even teaching English to Spanish speakers. I notice when I’m travelling that there’s an occasional problem with Spanish cabin crew. They assume that we speak our language as fast as they speak theirs, but we don’t. I remember being on a small plane in the US once; the lone flight attendant gave the safety briefing in English and I did not understand one word of it.
