Now consider how this would affect other players, and delete this thread.

What if the other players are using the opportunity to learn English from you? Or are generally supportive? Why don't you want to discuss rgps on /tg/

>everyone doesn't speak the language fluently
Probably works fine, you'll figure it out and be able to play unless there's a specific wording you get really wrong but that should be easy to research when it becomes a problem.
>GM fluent, players not
Similar to above, likely smoother unless the GM fucks up.
>GM not fluent, players fluent
Prepare for pain.

I'm ESL.
I've ran games in English, with both native English speakers and other ESL as players, usually because it's the most fluent or the only language we had in common.
Some of them struggled, but it felt like a really good way to improve their fluency.
I've also played for a few years with a native English speaking game master, but I'm pretty fluent so it didn't feel any different than playing in my native language.

i dont see how this wouldn't help you learn the language better. Any practice is better than no practice.

From what I know about polyglot stuff, it would probably be a useful exercise, assuming you had patient friends.
You would need decent listening comprehension and some speech skills to start, and if you were doing it for language learning I'd probably play something rules light and rollplay heavy.

Do you have any recommendations? The language I'm learning is japanese if that wasn't clear, would a japanese game be better?

>Do you have any recommendations?
I almost want to say something like Fiasco or Everyone is John, where conversation is key, but I admit those are borderline partygames.
>The language I'm learning is japanese if that wasn't clear, would a japanese game be better?
I think it's most important that everyone understands the game so you don't get caught up in the rules. I don't know your group so can't really judge. Play something you can already play well in english and focus on communicating in moonspeak.

As far as prepping for your session, like I said, listening and speaking skills.
You can build listening comprehension by watching and rewatching a small selection of material until your ears 'tune in' to the language.
People have done it with anime and movies before:

Practicing speaking alone might be harder, but this guy's idea wouldn't hurt, record yourself talking about yourself, get your brain used to putting words together:
