Imagine I learn French or Mandarin enough to understand a native speaker completely, but I insist on only speaking English to native French or Chinese who speak no English. How well do you think I would get on living in France or China?
Non-verbal communication is a language. “Reading” it is nor the same as “Writing” it.
