I understand all to well what you mean.  When working in a language that one
does not speak on a daily basis, having that extra time that reading and
writing provides in contrast to listening and speaking can make all the
difference, even if it's just a few moments that one needs to reflect and
focus.  If the opportunity is otherwise of genuine interest to you, I would
advise sending a written expression of interest in which you briefly summarize
your background and set forth the potential issue with spoken English just as
you have here.  Not that I can readily place myself in the position of a
Dreamworks executive, but if I were doing the hiring, I would place a much
higher positive value on an applicant's honesty and forthrightness than the
very small negative value attached to having to spend a few months getting up

to lose?
