Play. It is one of the 4 known universal languages. Took my littles on the ferry to France once they played with kids who didn’t speak English.

Yes, I took my little ones and their cousins to the public pool and all of them almost instantly made about 10 new freinds of boys and girls of all different races & cultures. It was nice to see all of them enjoying themselves so much.
