Fun to speculate.
I'm thinking if they could get here then they're obviously far more advanced than us, beyond our understanding since we don't have the ability to space travel.
Would they be so advanced that we're just like mice to them or something? We are far more advanced than mice, but we can't directly communicate with them, only indirectly like giving them rewards of food to train them is a form of communication. But then, nothing else has the ability of language other than us, which is big thing separating us from animals.
Maybe aliens would find learning and using our language so easy and rudimentary that it would be as simple as us giving food to a mouse as a reward. Maybe aliens communicate telepathically and find language to be extremely slow and tedious. Who knows.
or like the scrin, in cnc3, they analyze our language using thier tech, and learn it in a matter of 30seconds.
