	LANGUAGE LEARNING article--Year 2000 Update for Total Physical Response, known around the world as TPR
		Research into the effectiveness of TPR in second language learning was supported by grants from The Office of Education, The Office of Naval Research, The Department of Defense, the State of California, and San Jose State University (the historic, first public university in California, founded in 1857).
		In a traditional language program, principals screen "low" academic students from foreign language classes under the assumption that, "They simply can't do it!" Everyone is surprised when disadvantaged children who experience difficulty in class after class in a traditional school, enjoy success in a TPR class.
		Children act in response to hundreds of directions uttered in the alien language such as "Come here." "Put on your coat." "Throw me the ball." "Walk faster." etc. This is a linguistic luxury that their parents living in the same country do not experience.

	SF Xenolinguistics (JBR Primer)
		Languages described as "High", like High Martian, Old High Vulcan or indeed High Draconic, aren't from upland regions (as is the case for, eg, High German) - they're ancient and complicated prestige dialects preserved from the days when the Empire was much bigger and better and more sophisticated.
		Aliens enjoy designing their words to look like Latin or Greek, or occasionally Hebrew; they make heavy use of classical sounds spelt in classical ways, such as X, QU, TH, and PH - hence Thranx, Zarquon, Tholian, Cylon, etcetera.
		Alien brains may turn out to be unreadable, or all minds may prove to be readable regardless of native tongue - it all depends on whether there's a universal nonlinguistic "language of thought" for the Psi-Dubbing to work in (a very Chomskyan thing to imagine).

	Alien - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Aliens were dismissed as fables, although not the kind you can learn from like those of Aesop.
		All alien sightings were dismissed as lies, all who claimed to have been abducted by aliens were viciously beaten by the government and forsaken by their families, and any and all cattle mutilated by aliens were scorned and left outside the city gates, rebuked by their community as commanded in the Bible.
		Unfortunately, aliens are determined and set in their ways, so if they decide you need probing, there's nothing you can do to persuade them otherwise.

		These notions will be used by aliens, too, because they're easy to evolve and seem to have no easily-evolved alternatives.

		Unless our aliens do that too, they can't turn thoughts upon the products of their thoughts -- and won't have general intelligence -- however excellent their other rigid repertoires of skills may be.

		Also, it’s far less likely that an alien would find you sexually attractive than it is that you’d get turned on by the sight of a squid.

		Because all memories of the left side of the body are abolished, the language axis may fill the gap in its knowledge by referring to their left side with ego-alien language, attributing its presence to relatives, a patient in the next room, or the doctor.
		The language axis of the intact left hemisphere, when confronted with the left half of their body, will experiences it as completely alien and as perhaps belonging to someone else, such as the examining physician.
		That is, the language axis may fill the gaps in its knowledge and available memories by making up explanations which it accepts as truth (Joseph, 1986a, 1988ab; Joseph et al., 1984).

	"Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy" by Jeffrey A. Carver
		Of course, this may be the whole point of your story: the difficulty of communicating without a common language.
		Another solution is to have aliens who have already mastered human languages, perhaps through previous contact, or perhaps through years of observing humanity (either by being among us, or by listening to our radio and television broadcasts from afar).
		Still another approach is to give your aliens telepathy or other means of directly perceiving the thoughts of others.
