And then they answer "Ugh, could you repeat that in English", then you
do and everything's happy. No problem as long as people are not too
shy to say a word in a "so called foreign" language.

I once developed a talk in English with English slides all over, asked
the audience whether they would likt to have it helt in English or
German, but they opted for German. Too bad, the slides didn't match
the talk anymore...
That's just to demonstrate that it could be the other way around as well.
