Reporter describes an aircraft departing the airport and can't understand the aircraft; assumes what...

Narrative:

Aircraft X called to depart runway 21. I asked direction of flight. He answered something I did not recognize with a heavy accent so I approved him for standard right turn at the shoreline. He asked for frequency change. I did not observe his target but saw target on edge of class B; slightly offshore and about to fly in front of departures off lax in class B (he had turned left and we are only 2 miles from bravo offshore). I issued an immediate left turn and suggested heading and told ground control to point out to lax. After asking him several questions; it turns out his plan was to 'go out a bit and fly direct to sli.' I suggested he return to the airport and [re-plan] his flight when it became apparent he had no idea how to get to the other side of class B. I then had to help him enter the pattern and land because he flew the wrong way when instructed to make right traffic; (opposite direction on the downwind).we actually called the FBO where the aircraft is based and relayed info. They said he just bought aircraft; hopefully flight standards can help him.
