The last summer I went to make research at The University of New York at Buffalo. My graduate student over there speaks very fast and at the beginning if was very hard for me to understand him. I was also a little oxidized with my English skills so it was hard for the both of us to communicate with each other. So the best way to speaks was trough writing. When he gave me any instruction and I did not understand he just explained to me with drawings and writing. For me writing was my life saver during the first weeks at Buffalo, so I did not exploited any laboratory.
