Love beyond language

Most of the people have a mother tongue and maybe they speak one or two more foreign languages. Everybody is complaining about the "big nations" English, Americans, French, Germans, Italians that they do not know or being able to have even the most simple conversation in a foreign language. This is true for most of the big countries except some like Luxembourg, Switzerland, Singapore where more then one language is declared as national language. There is also a particular category of people being what we call bilingual (having two languages as mother tongue), most of them coming from mix families or emigrant families.

But as I was saying, for most of the people is normal to have one principal language in which they are able to think, read, write, communicate, learn etc and most important to express feelings with a high level of accuracy.

The question is: can we love in a different language? Can we know and understand a person coming from a different culture, growing up in a different country, having maybe a compelety different experience then you?

From my point of view the answer is Yes. It is possible. It is possible as long as we do not suppose so much, as long as both partners are curios enough about one each other culture without judging it and without impose nether one. The mix of culture some times is surprising and almost all the times is original. A certain balance is installing bit by bit. In my relationship we speak together a 3rd language (not mine and not his) but certain words from both our languages made their way up, especially in the kitchen. Love passes through the stomach so we felt the need of sharing food culture (not only from our countries but international) and some ingredients remained in the original language. Same with the love declaration, we have learned how to say "I love you" in one each other language. It is funny. It is amazing to see the person as he/she is without thinking of his origins...and most amazing is to uncover it from his layers. Love is a universal feeling without borders and beyond language. This is how I feel, I am not in love with a foreigner but with a person...and for sure the language is not a barrier.
