There is a character in one of my stories that has outgrown his welcome. He is from Germany and speaks only a little English.
This all started when a scene turned into a 100,00 words of story. That story turned into three, the other two both larger than the first. The lead character has to go interesting places and meet interesting people. Two of the interesting people meet each other and the pairing is too good not to pursue.
So far I have managed with what I recall of HS German and Google Translate. They are speaking in short sentences, for clarity, and mixing the languages. So far I have managed to muddle through, as a side story. I want at least try to write a story focusing on them. In other words, have dates and sex between two people without a common language.
Any suggestions?
