TL;DR: taking a quick skim read of the comments, it looks kinda contentious.
To answer your question, you can tell by checking for involuntary reactions to what you're saying. Someone who doesn't understand will just look at you with one or another shade of 'lost' on their face pretty much no matter what you say. But if their face shows an expression anger, fear, relief, disgust, agreement, disagreement or some other emotion immediately after they've heard you say something, or if they laugh at something you say, then they have understood. Or maybe only partially understood and got 'the wrong end of the stick', if the reaction isn't what you'd expected...
Omg thankyou and this is something that ive seen her do. Which is why I’m questioning if shes lying now. Its like nobody else in these comments can fathom someone lying about knowing english like wtf. THANKYOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION!!
How do you catch someone who’s lying about not knowing English?
