Language is the "main problem" 
what are other factors that are included in the problem. 

Not just "don't speak same language"

Step 2 –  Brainstorm Possible Solutions
Rules for brainstorming:
  • Limit the discussion to one issue or problem.
  • Set a time limit to encourage creativity and quick thinking.
  • No evaluating of any kind is allowed. The goal is quantity, not quality.
  • Encourage members to build on what has been said and modify the ideas.
  • Have a recorder write down every idea.
