Reminds me of a story I heard about a high school D&D club in an ethnically diverse community that had a girl who'd recently come to US from somewhere in Latin America. She barely spoke any English but wanted to be involved in the D&D campaign, so they had her play an elf who didn't speak Common, and the other players who knew Spanish all built PCs who spoke Elvish. For that campaign, Elvish was represented by speaking Spanish. And as this girl learned English, her elf learned Common.

I tell you, DnD and the other tabletop games are where people find the therapy they need.
