   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!
