Wanted: Translator

In one particular class I have a South Korean and two Chinese nationals. It just so happens that they were together for a group assignment. And during this morning's class, I realize that it's not such a good idea. They were talking to each other in their best English (which wasn't very much). And they had their distinct accent and obfuscations, which made things harder to understand.

They seem to realize the gap too as they struggle and repeat their sentences. But I think they managed to get the message across in the end.
