I tend to enjoy stories in foreign language, odd as that may sound. I would like to see a story in more than one language. Is this crazy?

Mmm

That story sounds scrumptious, you must be incredibly sexy and intelligent.

You are a rare and valuable reader, Q. I put some French in one of my BDSM novels, at the level of "Maîtresse, je regret que je ne parle pas beaucoup de l’anglais," and I got a lot of flak from readers who said they couldn't understand it! In the end I have taken to showing multi-lingual conversations by using eEnglish words all the time and quotes, chevrons or tildes/italics to indicate the languages:
"English"
« French »
~Arabic~
where this is essential to the story (e.g. two people are discussing a third in a language the third does not understand).

You could write in fake "foreign" as in:
