Please note that this is when a character ''inexplicably'' understands an alien language. If a human character can speak an alien language because they learned how to, it is no different than a native English speaker learning a foreign language and is not a trope.

Simply put, this is a character who is able to understand aliens. If the alien sounds are not [[StarfishLanguage physically impossible for a human mouth to reproduce]], expect the character to speak their language, too. If the aliens can communicate with ''all'' humans, it is likely that the [[AliensSpeakingEnglish aliens are just speaking English]]. If the aliens are only shown to be able to communicate with one human, it is likely that the human speaks fluent alien.
