stories told in English where most of the dialogue actually happens in another language?

A question. A liar may deceive you better if she is a Juggler of your language, right?
So lawyers, journalists and (God forbid) novelists are the worst?
A woman will deceive less, if she doesn't know enough words? (Edit: never happened, language is feminine)
Or will she still lie keeping her mouth shut?
Or, will a lover be more sincere if he knows only a few words?

Oh, yes. Brandy, Rum/Rhum/Ron in the Caribbeans, and whatever between a French chasseur de Bois and a young irochian princess in 17th century Quebec.
Wow, thank you. Seriously, you triggered a dozen of tales for me to write, all about the "we don't understand each other"

In my story it's a 19th century British army officer and a maid from a Ruritanian country somewhere near the Adriatic, who find some common ground in Italian.

It's so fun to be overseas, and finding a lingo that works with someone; I can do a lil German, Espanol, and Anglais.

Any other ideas? Tips, tricks, experiences?

Use subtitles.

Okay I know that was not helpful but it had to be said
