Yes, I hadn't thought much about that yet, I guess - but I should know as much Pidgin as I can. Summer project!
I currently teach EBD-LD resource in a school where 90% of the students speak Spanish...I've done a pretty good job of knowing/demonstrating enough Spanish to keep them guessing as to how much I actually know (or don't.)
I've worked in schools in inner-city Atlanta (African American) Johns Creek, Georgia (Asian), my current school, and schools in Ethiopia...I have yet in my teaching experiences to teach students who are anything like me, as a white guy from South Georgia. Looking forward to the next interesting experience..in SPED, its always interesting!
