It's really for toddlers and preschool, so I just put it in general.
What do you do when no matter how many times your child tells you something, you just can't undersand them?
If they want something, I would tell them to show it to me, but if it's something else, I would answer I that's nice, or whatever it sounds like they might need to not be frustrated that I don't understand them. If it's a question, I would say I don't know or maybe. I don't want to give the wrong answer if they're asking a question  . For my older kids, I would tell them to tell one of my other children in spanish and they'll translate. That doesn't always work either   .
What do you do?

Repeat back what I think I heard as a question
Ask an older sibling- this usually works better
Always look at the context, try to from the childs perspective

When I can't understand my ds, he gets very upset, especially if I pretend I've understood. He screams at me, "Didn't you understand what I said!"
Instead of pretending, I ask him to help me understand. I ask specific questions: Are you telling me about about a toy? A food? Something in school? Do we have it in our house? Which room is it in? What do we do with it?
He's getting to be very good at offering descriptions on his own, which is a great language skill for a very speech/language delayed kid.

Repeat back till I figure out what they want. Try to describe it. Just stay calm and try to figure it out.
