The lady tried her best to articulate herself, but the cameras overwhelmed her. She kept on messing up her words and finally gave up on speaking and walked in the middle of the interview.

The journalist was amazed by the woman’s decision and reported back to the studio to avoid the awkwardness. One viewer recorded the hilarious moment and posted it on TikTok, where the clip generated half a million views in less than 24 hours.

The TikTokker captioned the now-viral post:

“English came on a boat.”
