Try to find people who are bi lingual or try to find and interrupter or try to learn basic language

INTJ

Language is probably not the only thing you don't know. Culture plays an important role in dating so I would try to learn a bit of both before dating. (edited)

Chemistry trancends. Your motivation will follow

According to my boss, wear an American passport around your neck (supposedly most effective in Philippines, not sure about other countries). Also not sure if this method works with Indian passports. But according to your profile, you are 29 now, so this piece of information would have been useless to you, regardless~ (edited)

I dont think language,culture,color or religion can be a hindrance for two people who are really inlove with each other you can learn their language,religion and culture while you two are living together or while you two are already in a relationship love has no boundaries coz we love someone not just based on their looks or country they are from so no need to worry just enjoy each others company you two can help each other to learn each others language there is also google to translate if you like to know something.

Well, this is a strange question, but I like it, for me, first, I will talk to them with by gestures, i.e. by pointing to what I would like to talk about, then with the passage of time I will try as much as possible to learn their language, Then I will look for friends who have the same ideas as me, and then I will try to choose the most suitable person among them, and I will live a happy life, the end.😂😂

I'd draw lewd pictures on a piece of a cardboard, hoping that someone would get it. 🤣

Its simple ofc you need to learn their language.🐣 But in my place many local people marry with foreigners and only thing they need is fluent in english🍀

That was exactly my situation in Malaysia in 1998. Technology has come a long way from “lonely planet travel guide”. Having someone who could translate for me helped with introduction. The Chinese Malay lady I dated and I pantomimed a lot… which led to laughs. We watched VCDs with subtitles… and love is a motivator to learn a language .

Here's a tip: DON'T!!! Well at least without some form of preparation. Start by learning their language. Communication is key. If you already have someone in mind have them guide you, teach you to understand and learn their language and customs. Hold on the Netherlands?! Yikes bro you set yourself up for a challenge with that language. 😬 but all the luck to you man follow your heart but just be reasonable about it too.

Integrate with the culture and the people, don't worry about dating until you feel comfortable knowing things like the language or holidays or things of that nature. Then when you feel fully ready and you are in a good place then you can go into it. Finding the right person is something that can't be rushed work on things for you and then good things will come.

INFJ

Learn their language and culture... as the others said already.

Watch them talk to each other and you'll pick up on things. Also there's an app to help teach and another app that can be an interpreter. (edited)

Capricorn

I thought love don't have language.

INFP

Take language lessons; then practice with your date -or- establish a practice group and invite the person you’re interested in to be a conversation partner. Ask them out from there if the vibes are right.

Cancer

Who would date under these circumstances kskskks

ENFP

Libra

Get involved in a hobby that doesn't require alot of talking but allows for comfortable conversation. Hopefully find someone with similar interests in an area that we both spend time and give us a chance to learn about each other's culture and become

ESTP

I'd recommend learning the language, but maybe you could learn it from someone you find attractive, both physically and personality wise. Then you'd literally be able to tell them you're interested in them with the very words they taught you. ☺️
