if i was anywhere near as fluent as i would like to be in spanish, i would write a story for silver birds where the universal translator stops working, and despite being a botanist, Jules gets wrapped into the plot of trying to communicate and fix the translator. throughout the story, most of the crew struggles to communicate, and Jazzy (who minored in linguistics) is somehow the most qualified person to come up with stopgap solutions. Cap hyrum is carrying around several padds of basic phrases in about a dozen languages. at one point he mispronounces something to drastically change the meaning for comedic effect. At the end when the translator is fixed, the perspective is switched to hyrum's perspective, and he promptly flops down on the living room couch, and Jules wastes no time in poking fun of him that his spanish has gotten rusty. hyrum just lightly wacks him
