If you're still in that city at the beginning, you should have a walk all through it, until you reach somewhat like a sportsyard. After that well... go to the haven, and talk to the guy inside of the house. If you leave after that, you'll get to know a red haired girl. (Or better, you'll run straight into her xD)
After their talking and stuff you follow her back into town, just skip all the dialogues as you prolly won't understand it anyway, and after that you're free to leave the town.
On the map you'll have to do a little exploring and kill some mobs to lvl a bit. (well you could even skip that too, I didn't have a problem getting past that without cheats, so you#re good to go) Once you find a bridge, you should cross it. Another sequence of talking begins and then you can go further.
Well... a little exploring later you should run straight into the next sequence, being locked away afterwards. Tlak to all the people in your cell twice or as often as you have too. (Even to the guy outside the door) Otherwise the story won't progress. ^^
And well... then it's just fighting, fighting fighting until you reach some sort of camp.
That's what I got so far. It's not THAT hard to go on with the story, even if you can only understand a few words. It's just quite useless to play a game where you wouldn't know wha exactly is going on or what you have to do exactly. But as it's the same procedure in eeeevery RPG it's quite easy to make it anyway.
I hope that helped a little to get you off the start, but I'd assume to wait until summer to not ruin all the fun.
