Singletons signed up for new TLC dating show Love and Translation are STAYED when it's revealed NONE of them speak the same language – forcing them to court each other with awkward gestures

The course of true love has never been smooth — and it's definitely going to be a huge mission for the singles on TLC's brand new dating show Love & Translation, after they find out that none of the single women speak English.

In the upcoming show – premiering on January 21 – three American singles move in with twelve women from nine different countries in an attempt to find true love in an exotic location.

But during an exclusive first look, the three men are shocked to discover they can't communicate with any of them.

Tripp, a thirty-year-old California resident, is stunned by the revelation and frantically asks the group, “Does anyone know English?” Anyone at all? Doesn't anyone speak English?'

The female singles come from France, Spain, Germany and Japan, among others

As the women stare at him blankly, he continues, “Body language. I talk to my body a lot… I know you can't hear me.'

The unexpected language barrier continues to send him into a tailspin in his confessional, during which he adds, “I'm literally speechless.

'No one can speak the same language. I can't talk, I can't listen. Speechless, listeningless.

'I don't know how to communicate, I'm trying to figure it out.

“I came halfway around the world for love, and this experience will be much harder than I expected.”

Fellow bachelor Dylan, 21, from Florida is equally shocked and clueless when potential partner Tulay reveals she is from Deutschland (Germany).

A confused Dylan asks in his confessional, “She says she's from Germany?”

A producer replies: “Do you know where Deutschland is?”

Kahlil, 24 from Texas, struggles to understand basic Spanish and collapses when asked where he is from

'It has to be next to Amsterdam, right?' Dylan answers. 'Who knows, who knows. Do you know?'

In conversation with 25-year-old Tulay, he then jokes: 'They don't teach us geography in America!'

Meanwhile, final bachelor Kahlil, 24 from Texas, has trouble understanding basic Spanish and breaks down when one of the women asks him where he's from.

The women looking for love include Jin, 32, from South Korea, Yam, 29, from Mexico, Gisele, 29, from Brazil, and 28-year-old Joceline and Leidi from France and Colombia respectively.

Jhenyfer, 24, from Brazil, Jhuliana, 23, from Bolivia, Imane, 21, from Morocco, and Assia, 21, from France also appear, as do 20-year-old Sara and Airi, from Italy and Japan respectively.
