Any advice on overcoming language barriers? I just started a new role and am already struggling interpreting some of my coworkers’ English. They are from Russia. I want to approach this in the right way and make sure I don’t offend anyone if I ask them to clarify or explain that I’m not understanding. My boss is from the U.S. so I thought about just asking her to help me translate. I can include an example from an email in the comments. Thanks all in advance!

Part of their response to a draft social media post I sent: “Thanks for the perfect timing and the text. Sounds really nice. And length is perfect. And I’m thinking of... We are talking about just mobile platform instead of “mobile platform_and_other staff, which could help you”. But the page by the link is quite general. Anyway, let’s try!”
😅 SOS
