    Lightbulb Language barrier

    Sometimes I meet custies who speak very little english i.e. Japanese and it's very frustrating to even make small talk or hustle for a dance

    I'm going to learn some key Japanese phrases but what should I do in the meantime?

    Learn key Japanese phrases...like hello and welcome. May I dance for you? Learn about the culture a little bit...they'll be so happy when you can speak a bit and some may help you learn more.

    I did this and every time Japanese business men came in...I made a lot of money off of them.

    this is going to sound mean but i pretty much just ignore them if they don't speak english. I've tried to sit and talk but it seems like the less english they spoke the more they tried to do things not allowed @ the club. Then that one guy would ruin my good mood and for the rest of the day i would make no $ due to my bad mood.

    For Japanese guys I can say Hello, Thank You, Cheers and Blowjob. You might not want that one. In between I just keep up a steady stream of pleasing nonsense. Once when a guy asked (or rather, somehow communicated) that he would like to touch my pussy, I shook my head no. He then asked if he could look closely at it. And I told him that yes, he could look very closely, but not touch... Like THIS (and there I opened my eyes really wide and moved my face like a centimeter from his) and he laughed really hard. Tourists and people like that are really more in it for the fun than anything. They are on vacation/business trip, they are away from home. They expect to spend money in a way that they wouldn't in every day life. And (incidentally) in Japan it costs like thousands of American dollars to buy a girl a drink. We're dirt fucking cheap to them, so value for the money doesn't tend to be SO important.

    Just a couple of peso's.....

    I think your letting alot of money go out the window,specially if your blond!

    I think many dancers dont think about where alot of these guys come from and whats permitted at the clubs in thier country,for alot less then they are paying in the clubs in the states.

    Wanna have fun one night,and get some great practice in on non (insert your lingo here)speaking custies,play with your regs!!!
    When your reg walks in the door one night,slip him a piece of paper that says "SHHHH".
    Go thru the whole process of saying hello without speaking,ordering a drink without speaking,and of course,asking "do you want a lapdance now"without saying a word.
    Boday language baby!!!!!
    If ya got it,it speaks volums and men of every backround speak that language.

    Big Green, that does sound like a good idea and definitely fun to do with a reg (i.e. someone who already knows you), but I think it would work mostly in theory if you wanted to apply it to non-english speakers. I'm sure the odd tourist would love it, but I think people go into strip clubs for a bit more communication. Most people doing business in a country will already know the language, if not fragments of it. That means that if their english is rusty, you could get by with learning a few key phrases in their language which will earn you a massive thumbs-up, but not by nodding and smiling the entire time whilst remaining button-lipped. In my experience, if someone is here in the UK and gives me the impression that they're there on business but will not utter a word of english to me, they are taking the piss bigtime. In other words, they are using a spineless approach to reject my company.

    Brookstone has a translator that actually speaks for you. But it's hard to hear in a loud club. I learned key phrases and numbers in Japanese, Spanish and just recently a bit of Mandarin as I already know Cantonese. I looked up the Japanese and Spanish on the internet through Babelfish at Alta Vista.com, then I asked my Spanish and Japanese speaking friends to listen to me so I won't sound like a complete jack-ass. Good Luck.

    Oh its funny as shit to watch and the reg and the dancer seem to always enjoy mime time.lol!!!
    I worked with a girl years ago who would actually BLINFOLD a reg and make him sit with her for hours during a packed friday or saturday night.
    They fuckin loved it!!!
    She would charge them for her to just sit next to them and stroke thier arm or hair or fidget in her seat next to them.Its was most impressive and it always ended in lapdances,not lapdance or two and done,always the big dances,and always many of them.(after she ball gagged a few regs,she had to stop becuase it freaked out to many of the other regs)

    lol i have seen a million "Blind"guys come into clubs,some are real and some are frat boys who read penthouse letters and think this is the way to get a free "brail like feel"so i can "see"what a stripper looks like.roflmao!!!!

    I have also seen a few guys who couldnt talk at all,and used notes all night,that can also be fun.

    It is just a theory i got,but if you can work a guy who has no speach,no hearing,or no sight,you can handle anyone who just has a simple language barrier.
    If they are in the states and in your club,its safe to say they already understand "YES"and "NO",and your the reason they came in,after that,the rest is basic human communication and interaction,nods,smiles,shrugs,and numbers of fingers held up.
    The only hard part is when it comes time for money and sealing the deal.
    Always get the money up front with ANYONE who doesnt speak your lingo or is "Potraying"a forigner.Im not slammin anyone from outside the states,im just saying,nobody was born yesterday,many times people use the language game to try to get an advantage on a dancer,or to get out of paying.

    Yes the few words you can learn,if not a whole language,is NOTHING BUT GOOD!
    My theory is that if you can communicate on a very basic level with the animal your hunting,you stand a much better chance of getting him,and its hard to play the language game on you because you are practiced at basic general skills,paid for,by your regs,and all in play.
    Combine them all,and the guy doesnt stand a chance!lolol
    and you wont get screwed at the end of a lapdance with"I didnt know what she say,i didnt know what to pay"
    I'm sure the odd tourist would love it, but I think people go into strip clubs for a bit more communication.
    Regs go into strip clubs for communication.
    A reg who cant speak enough english to get by is very rare.Anyone who is,is fakin it.
    I promise you that.
    Everyone else goes to strip clubs to see tittys and get lapdances (or whatever is on the menu at your clubs)
    And for the guys who dont speak the language,english 101 is free down at the local highschool,they dont pay the high cover to do it in strip clubs.
    Generally,if they dont try to pay with peso's or some other currency,they speak enough of the language already,at least all they need to know.
    Man
    Woman
    Currency exchange rate.
    Yes
    No
    Anyone who is in a strip club knows this long before they get to us.
    I promise this also.
    As much as I would like to think so,strip clubs are not the first place forigners come just off the plane or boat.
    Most people doing business in a country will already know the language, if not fragments of it.
    I agree,or someone who did would be sitting right next to them translating word for word.
    Many times,its a blessing they cant talk,and you can get right to business.
    In other words, they are using a spineless approach to reject my company.
    ehhhhhhhh
    depends imo.
    If its done as a "NO"to a question,im ok with it.
    If its used to get out of something,or to drag time out for free,then i know exactly what your talking about,pisses everyone off and is why alot of girls run from this type of customer.
    Yes,no,and lapdance are universal,and everyone knows what a US 20 bill looks like,then its just the number of fingers you hold up as to how many you require.lolol

    Its very rare for custies to be in a strip club that cant speak english,or enough to get by(in US clubs).They always have someone to translate.
    You get alot in Vegas and new york from the conventions,but most times,they have someone there to tell the group whats whats.
    Would it hurt to know how to sell lapdances in 27 different languages if you live there or work there??
    Hell no!lol
    I also think that if your in an area,like Texas for example,and your club had a client base of,for example,Latino's,its not them that dont speak the lingo,its the entertainer who isnt speaking thier language.
    yea they know yes no and lapdance,and how much its going to cost,but to really interact,your going to have to learn some basic spanish.
    A few episodes of Dora the explorer is all you need,then,while they are paying for your time,let them teach you how to speak the lingo.

    I guess its "when in Rome,speak Roman,but if ya got alot of greek custies,its not anal to know a few words to interact with them".

    I sometimes use phrases in their own language even if they can speak english. A simple 'Salaam Alekoum' or a 'Come Sta?' is a good ice breaker. Talking about their country also loosens them up.

    I know Japanese so it's easy for me to get the Japanese big spenders. W00. The asian guys always seem to be the best for the money. Dunnowhy.

    In spanish I only learned the following: "fifty dollars"(price of dance at my club), "don't touch" and "If you do that again, I'm stopping the dance." For the Mexicans, that's all you really need to know. -.- Ugh.

    Japanese. Hello really depends on the time of day. Since you work nights, say "Konbanwa". $20 "Nijuu" $10 "Juu"... Let's go "Ikimashou". How are you, "Genki desu ka?" What is your name? "Anata wa namae desu ka?" My name is ____ "Watashi wa _____"

    Yeah.

    Key phrases in common languages should be added to the FAQ here.
    Preferably with pronunciation keys and tips.

    I'm in So. Cal so the most common non-english is Spanish and almost all of our girls will avoid the guys like the plaugue! True they mostly aren't rich buisiness men or anything and they tend to be pretty groppy, but I consistantly sell 1-4 dances to them using broken spanish phrases (I actually speak decent spanish, but they seem to prefer I stumble through it and giggle and smile when i 'think' I've got something right.) I dunno, has worked for me.
