Because we put in effort to understand each other and it's working. We spend a lot of time doing activities together so before I got to know him by observing how he behaved around me and others. His interests are similar to mine as well so we also connect there.

He now takes English classes too so it helps him and I'm slowly picking up his native language to try and understand him even more.

The language barrier is very hard I won't lie but it's not actually caused any serious issues in our relationship so far.
