For many European languages and some non-European ones there is the CEFR, so you could look for an “A1” or “A2” level language course in whatever you want to learn. They aim to establish exactly this basic level of communication.

According to your opinion. But you are not in charge. He is. And he’s doing what people who voted him in, asked him to do.
Well of course it’s just my opinion. I think it is pretty clear we disagree, no point arguing that. Just wanted to let you know my perspective, since that seems to be allowed here instead of being an echo chamber, which I respect. But you seem to be hell-bent on learning this lesson on a personal level, so no stopping you I guess. Kind regards from Germany.

Then you have nothing to worry about, right?
The thing that worries me is that Trump seems to be consistently acting against the best interest of US foreign policy.
Hasn’t happened yet.
Alea iacta est.

I don’t care about that. You all can fix your own shit. If you don’t like how we do something, then you all fucking do it.
You know what, if that is how you feel, fair enough actually. I just don’t think that’s how your former and current governments, including Trump, really feel about it.
I don’t think so.
You don’t think losing the US dollar as the world reserve currency would hurt you economically? Because that’s where this is going.

It has damaged your reputation as a country. It hasn’t damaged you domestically (yet), which is why I advised looking at it from a foreign policy perspective.
And make no mistake, just giving up on global hegemony will hurt you domestically as well in the long run. Not that I’m opposed to it, on the contrary actually, it just strikes me as utterly misguided since it’s done for selfish, and I think foolish, reasons.

The argument you are getting and setting here seems to be a domestic one primarily, but I think from a foreign policy perspective it becomes much clearer, especially given what this post is about.
US global hegemony after WWII rests on a several aspects, a few key ones of which are free trade with US dollar as the world reserve currency, a system of international alliances, and resulting from that the ability to have bases all over the world for immediate power projection anywhere.
Trump is practically giving all of that away for no discernable reason whatsoever. He basically just publicly announced to all of Americas allies that your word, like as a country, is worth nothing.
