I've learnt several international languages, and what you describe is very hard for me. I'm guessing there is an built in arrogance in my mind that "everyone should understand me", I do make an effort. One thing that makes it harder is the taboo of seeming studpid, and hurting my feelings. So while I do want to agree that I am better at communicating it is not a given, the give and take of communicating is not only about languages and I've met some excellent one-language communicators. Arrogance sucks, just trying to be humble is not enough for me to shake it.
