It feels like you'll have to play the communication game in hard mode either way, I don't see any guide that will help you short of "spare a lot of time, make efforts and try to find ways that are somewhat efficient".
In my experience written communication worked a lot better when people were not at ease with the subject or the language, as you could do it asynchronously and they could edit themselves easily.
Meetings had an incredible amount of back and forth with ton of whiteboarding and people only reacting after we'd come to a conclusion that we rewrite in plain words. It's still a pain to do that in written form, but each side isn't stuck in meetings for 5 hours at least.

- geraldwhen 3y agoDictation has to be corrected and requires knowledge of how to use a computer. I’m telling you that most of the employees at BigCo have the technical prowess of proverbial grandparents. The fact that they can open zoom and outlook at all is a small miracle.
