I believe the answer is:

dollar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'foreign capital' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'upsets everyone in bar' is the wordplay.
'upsets' says the letters should be written backwards.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'bar' becomes 'rod' (I've seen this before**).
'all' going inside 'rod' is 'rallod'.
'rallod' in reverse letter order is 'DOLLAR'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
