Wildcards in parameters

I am trying to write a query to search for the languages people speak. The
languages are stored in a single field where you might have a list e.g.
French, Spanish, Basic Russian.

I can write a query to search for just the Russian speakers : Like "*Russian*"

But not if I want the user to input the language parameter in a search. e.g.
Which language? --user inputs Spanish and all the records with "*Spanish*"
appear.
This is in Access 2003.

Does anyone have any tips?
