pick an open source software, like nextcloud or a game and follow the instructions for "build from source" youll get a bunch of errors for some dependency not installed and that will lead you down a rabbit hole of installing and downloading tools and show you commands like make, mv, cd, ls, curl, etc. error messages usually contain a lot more information that people expect.
Major newspapers and magazines have actually seriously considered this question, and put the money in for solving this. Some publications such as The Washington Post have added AI-generated readings to their articles, but I've personally found the readings slightly too unnatural (though they are fairly close to a human narrator) to read for longer articles. However, this might improve in the near future.
Other publications (such as The New Yorker) hire human narrators to read a selection of their articles. I appreciate this as the narration helped me enjoy certain lengthier articles that I would've skipped on reading otherwise. The Economist in particular repeatedly mentions that a small but significant portion of its subscriber base primarily listens to instead of reads their articles [1].

Sorry, I suppose being a professional musician is one field with similar requirements for skill versus pay. Nobody's going to pay any money to a middle-quintile piano player, just like nobody in academia is going to pay any money to a freshly-minted middle-quintile PHD.
I felt this way at some point when I worked at LANL. I specifically remember a training module that said it was not inclusive or respectful to require or insist that coworkers speak a specific language unless it impacted your job function. After all, they dont 'owe' you anything to make you feel comfortable in social settings. And even if they are talking about your project that doesnt mean they need your input..
On the other hand, when I worked at a small German startup our CEO would constantly remind our team to 'speak English for nc!' -- but usually only when he wanted to make sure I was aware, bolster their own skills to continue to expand internationally or when he thought I might be able to contribute. I appreciated that it did also make me feel awkward when I could tell that speaking English made it more challenging for them to convey ideas effectively.
I recommend Pimsleur language classes to get started and meet them in the middle.
