Hi all,

I have some friends that are planning a visit to US. They all speak little to no english (little means they are able to produce some random words like beer, car, toilet but not able to make a phrase at all). Travelling under an EU passport with a valid ESTA.

How should they deal with border and customs officials? Say to them 'Hi, I speak no english, I am a toursit' in case they ask something? Give to them a paper written in english (by me) explaining the situation?

Any advice welcome (and no, they would no learn enough english for the time they are planning to go )
