George I think what you probably need to do is go visiting. Go physicaly to a number of different dojos and sit, watch a few classes in each. Watch several classes of all the different kinds of MA you've expressed interest in. Then sit back and think about what you've seen and what looks most like something you'd enjoy.
Then go get on the mat for a few classes with a group doing that art and see what you think. See if it really is something you're enjoying. If not, back off, rethink, maybe re-observe some more or some different dojos in the same art.
There's a vast difference between listening to what other people feel is good bad or ugly and actualy experiencing yourself.
And even if you dont speak the language you still should be able to understand most of the instructions since most of the instructions for any technique should be physicaly demonstrated. it's amazing really how well people that dont speak each others language can actualy commuincate when they want to.
