I’m gonna be honest, there’s not much you can do. If you can’t understand them they might not understand you. So I’m usually rather direct in situations like this. “I don’t understand” is taught widely in English as a second language classes last I checked (not trying to be rude, sorry if I’m coming across that way-)
