Hi skittleys,
welcome to this fabulous site - and to their amazing members (they are, indeed, I assure you)
There is a "bunch" of "multiligural" persons here, always trying to be helpful in any way (if possible...)
English is really no problem at all, all the games here have an english user interface. And so is for the rules, because we simply give the link to the appropriate website.
When learning a game, I recommend to select some friendly and helpful person and use the chat option during game for assistance.
Now, if you like
Trajan and
BuBu (what we germans use as abreviation for the
Castle of Burgundy), perhaps you should try (in this order)
Concordia, as well as
Vanuatu, though the three have well different game mechanics.
Later, when your brain needs to be utterly squeezed:
Tzolk'in and
Myrmes ... and if you like a good humour beside, nonwithstanding the difficulties:
Dungeon Lords and
Alchemists are a choice here.
A special mention can be
Dungeon Twister.
And simply an invitation to some "pure" tactical, abstract games (because I cherish them, even if you do not seem to be interested in ... for the moment, let's say

): The whole GIPF project (
GIPF, DVONN, TZAAR, YINSH, PÜNCT, ZERTZ; only the latest of them
LYNGK is not available here). But
EXXIT (tremendous... and tremendously difficult) and
Dragon Face are a good choice, too.
Ah, and if you like to discuss topics quite different from games: Seek for the special threads on the forum. (Specialist for ancient music here is me! And that's not a joke!!)
Happy playing (yeah, that means: have fun!!)
Josquin
