My parents are getting old and want us to move to Jordan for as they get older. They miss it. I am here in Jordan. I do not know how to speak Arabic well, but I can understand everything. I have a business idea, location is found, but I worry because I do not know the language I can not run a business or get approved of a business.

Can I be granted all approvals if I do not know the language here (I can get a lawyer to do everything for legal)?
I am aware most people speak VERY GOOD english, I am worried about having to speak it for government reasons like laws or regulations
I want to pay my employees, the best, what should I pay a restaurant manager and employees? I want to pay for for the best people.

@Hussam dad聽 Thank you for your assurance. I appreciate it and it is easier to feel more confident. I have a Jordanian Passport and want to stay here with my parents. Thank you.
