I am sorry for the situation. Language barriers is an interesting concept. guess everyone in the world understood everyone else until the tower of Babel incident. There was a guy, I think his name was Nimrod, who was building a tower to heaven. God was not pleased with him and the people working on this project, so he gave them each a new language. When they came to work the next morning they would not understand or talk with each other. The language barrier created such problems that they actually stopped working on the project, and no more tower of Babel to heaven. I worked closely with a full blood Mexican at an all American Indian school. He could not speak a word of Spanish because when his parents came across the border, and they put him in school, the school would not allow any of the kids to speak Spanish, so he forgot all of his language. He was wanting to learn it again, and he may know it by now because this was over 20 years ago. I don't understand Spanish, but I know isolated words, and some of those Spanish words are mixed in with the languages of the Philippines. I took several years of Greek in Bible College and one year of Hebrew, but it has been so long since that time, that I don't know much of either of those languages now.
