SYNOPSIS

Hannah¡¯s first week in the US isn¡¯t going as expected. Rejected by everyone she meets, even her own friend, it seems nobody has time to practice English with her. So when she¡¯s propositioned by a couple looking for a phone sex participant, Hannah uses the conversation as an opportunity to finally get some English practice in. However, as the phone call progresses, Hannah realises that this is a situation where online translators just won¡¯t cut it, and she¡¯s going to have to get resourceful with her vocab book if she wants to help this couple cum like a true fluent English speaker.
