When I think about it as the simple relationship between lovers, I feel like it's the same thing as marriage between people of the same nationality. I sometimes envy them, because most of them can speak multiple languages, while I have been struggling to acquire English skills for many years. However, I suddenly feel like it's replaced with diffucult problems as soon as I think about it as relationship between different countries.

My former supervisor was from India and he got married with a Japanese women. He sometimes went to see his father-in-law with his wife and daughters. He seemed to enjoy the New Year's banquet for long hours in accordance with the local customs there. I didn't hear about challenges from him. Now, I'm working with a French supervisor in a current company. I would like to ask him about it.

An article is missing. “a” and “an” are different forms of the same word, the indefinite article that often precedes a noun. “a” is used before a noun that starts with a consonant sound (e.g., “s,” “t,” “v”). “an” is used before a noun that starts with a vowel sound (e.g., “a,” “o,” “i”). e.g. an apple, a delicious apple.
3. Use "the" when referring to something specific, be it an object, person, type of object or person, or a particular quality of an object or person. Neglecting to include it can pose challenges in discussing a specific object or person unless you resort to using words like "this," "that," or a proper noun.

Since I didn't have such an experience until then, it frightened me. Since then, I pay more attention to the topic.
Going back to my current French supervisor, he has a Japanese wife. I will ask him the beginning of the love and their family life to know about him more.
