Well it has been a couple of days and I am starting to understand a little of their lingo. The problem is they are 5 years and are very stubborn when it comes to repeating themselves slowly or saying the word the correct way to get what they are asking for.
We are working on it though, I can be kind of stubborn too. They understand each other perfectly fine. Sometimes I feel like I am on another planet.

They are going to be starting speech therepy as soon as it gets set up.

I think I will start learning some signs. I think that sounds like a great thing to know. I know this will probably not be the last time I encounter a communication problem.

Thanks for the advice!
