Language barriers are difficult to overcome.
Saying something in a language that is not your first almost guarantees that your thoughts and feelings are coming out slightly different than you planned.
It also almost guarantees that the opposite party is misunderstanding you.
This is difficult for me to accept because one of the most important people in my life speaks a language that is not my own... well not entirely anyway.
There are so many things I want to tell him, so many things I want to say...
But sometimes, I see no point.
This is difficult, frustrating, and sometimes makes me feel like I am not so smart.
Will he give me enough opportunities to learn what is and is not ok to say?
If not, this will be a problem I carry with me for the rest of my life.
If so, then he will have to deal with a lot more hurt before anything can start to get better...
