As an American living abroad, I learned this fast when I started working in a multi-lingual environment. If I just spit out words naturally, people don't understand me. It's frustrating at first but if you want to be understood, then well, you should just speak more simply. I've found that the habit of speaking in a simple manner has helped a lot even when speaking with other English natives.
