Though you can read and write Common and Auran, you rely heavily on telepathic powers for communication. 

Telepathic

You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language. 

Beginning at 3rd level, you can probe deeper, reading the surface thoughts of a creature as per the detect thoughts.  After this ability is used, it cannot be used again until after a long rest.  Your spellcasting ability for this trait is Charisma.
