It is extremely difficult to do humor in a foreign language, or to engage in conversation when you don't have much of a clue what the other person is saying.

This guy pulls it off really well.

So many of the Asian players don’t seem to have a sense of humor because of the language barrier but he’s obviously having a good time.

I don't envy anyone who learns English when it is not his natural language.
No relationship between spelling and pronunciation.
A single word can have over a half dozen meanings.
The same spelled word can have a different sound depending on how it is used in a sentence.

Learning English before you can read or write helps a lot. - Tom
