Screamglish

A word to describe the way Americans tend to talk slower and louder to a foreign person, thinking that this will somehow make the person understand English better.
Foreign Person: "Je ne parle en Anglais."

American: "WHAT...IS...YOUR...NAME?"

American's Friend: "There's no need to use screamglish! They still don't understand you!"
