Yes, perhaps because when speaking, tone can help a lot- and there is
the opportunity for instant clarification.

Tone doesn't help at all, at least in English, and you can't clarify if
your clarifications are just as jumbled as your original utterances.

Why not if you give me a chance to start something.
I would accept to loose a bit at the begining.

That is a common mistake of small business operators. You can never
afford to lose money.

USA has the reputation for being easy with those
setting up something, show me then.

Visit the CFE at the URSSAF, they'll explain it all to you.

No, in the case of immigrants to the US the first thing they has to
learn was some rudiments of spoken English to be able to get along in
the most basic manner - find a job, buy groceries, find housing. You
picked up what English you could in the coal mines of Pennsylvania, the
copper mines of Upper Michigan, the gold and silver mines of Colorado,
the rolling mills of Illinois, the tunnels of NYC, the foundries of
Detroit, etc. When working 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, you did not
have much time for such things as classes in English. Some US places
that hired many immigrants, such as the Illinois Steel South Works in
Chicago had signs in English, Hungarian, Polish, German, and others.
Many first generation immigrants to the US never did learn to write
English much, that was left to the second generation to learn in school.

I teach people English every day, and believe me, most of them write far
better than they speak. For virtually all students of foreign
languages, speaking fluency is the last or second-last skill acquired,
after reading, writing, and listening. (Some students speak better than
they listen, not because they are good speakers, but simply because they
never have a chance to listen at all.) Written language always precedes
spoken language unless they've had some pretty unusual experiences.

Children may learn to listen and speak first, since they may be more
exposed to the spoken form of a language than to the written form. But
that's children, and here we are dealing with an adult speaker.

Yes, perhaps because when speaking, tone can help a lot- and there is
the opportunity for instant clarification.

Even more important is the possibility of realizing that clarification is
needed at all.
