And  this  is  because  their  grammar is  very  simple  and  limited.
Basically, this grammar only allows sentences of a length of one word.
They are thus reluctant to  learn to speak longer sentences, which are
foreign to them.

And of course,  this is supported by a  highly expressive and flexible
grammar.
