Sometimes I feel here that I will never truly fully be part of the family because of the language barrier

Like beyond understanding and speaking the language, it's different culturally-wise, the way of using the language for the native speakers. It is not just about using the words or grammar, but there is another deeper layer of understanding and humoring that only natives have and perhaps some rare outsiders that have a strong language skill.

How do you relate with this ?

You make an interesting point and I suppose it may be true to some extent. But at the same time, I find that many native speakers are devoid of deeper understanding and humor so I say most of us, including you, are just an imperfect part of this imperfect family. 🙂

@OlderSometimesWiser thank you, you are right, families are imperfect, that is true 🩷
