That's how inroads to understanding are made. One step at a time. Even for the women who have a language barrier, quilting is a visual process. You will be able to show them the steps. They can write instructions in their own language. I teach quilting at an adult education program in a school district with a large university. I had some Japanese students who were wives of visiting professors. They each spoke very limited English. However, we had no problem communicating about the quilts. Use plenty of pictures! Good luck
