Everyone knows English language skills (for example, to be fluent in conversational English) just fall down from heaven on a minute's notice. They just materialize. Snap your finger, soon after landing in the USA, and everyone should naturally be fluent, even able to catch and process rapid fire South Philly slang at a hoagie joint.

What's wrong with these people who cannot understand that everyone in this world is born with an intrinsic, inherent ability to speak English even after a few days, even if a foreign tourist.

I mean, if I get off a plane in suddenly in Vientiane, it is natural that I could order a full meal without the slightest difficulty in completely fluent Laotion right near the airport at a joint where nobody spoke English. Anyone can do this. Why not stupid foreigners who visit the United States even if here just a few hours!!?

Properly stated!

I wouldn't go there either unless forced.
