Do you speak French, Spanish, Latin (yeah, I know it is only read), or Italian?
I'm game to give words in those idioms a try...

Perhaps we are picking easy words ... but of course a game without humor (or fun) is far too much like work. And since we both happened to be online and playing, we rather flooded the page with responses.
As for your proposal of shifting to other idioms, I would be willing o give a shot, but I hafta say that my knowledge of languages is fairly limited ... English, Bad English, Southern, and a very, very limited amount of French (from high school 25 years ago?). And by limited, I hafta admit that I used the skill once to attempt to help a tourist family understand that the box they were purchasing wasn't just a roll of film, but was a disposable camera ... and that their daughter had wandered off around the corner of the gift shop.
As the game initiator, I would have to say that a change in the rules is within your power to make.
As for myself, I plan to fix my somnolent state ... I am off to bed ... and in the morning perhaps I will have thoughts related to...
new word: "jentacular"
