Working with a brazillian guy at the moment, who knows very little english (though he can dismantle a jacuzzi in lighting time).

Problem I'm having is he uses "Can I", for both the question form and also as a statement, instead of saying I Can.

As im relaying instructions, trying to teach him the difference between the two but no having much luck. Anyone got any ideas here ?
