Well, the language doesn't take long to learn!  

You can say only:  

The numbers 1 through 7 
Clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades 
No Trump (Consider that one word!)  
double
redouble 
pass


Though not allowed in the game . . . 

Explicatives directed at opponents often occurs.  
The same directed at partner generally means you'll 
need to find a new partner!
