"It was a way for us to communicate with each other - without speaking each other's language."

great idea. wave your arms around.

like the the story about the little old italian man walking along in south philly carrying a watermelon. a car rolls up to the curb and the passenger asks him for directions. the little old italian guy says, "just a moment" and he bends over and places the watermelon on the sidewalk.

i used to work with a guy years ago, and whenever he spoke to someone who had trouble with english, he'd put an "O" on the end of every other word, and then raise his voice. swear to god. wonders never cease.
