I have been with my boyfriend for about 2 and a half years. His family is all in Lebanon, and this summer he wants me to go and meet them. This is really quite frightening to me because they all speak French and Arabic, which I don't. I have also never traveled across an ocean or anything before. My boyfriend keeps saying he is going to be the translator, but I don't see how I can really bond or get to know them with this huge language barrier. He is also the only son, and although my boyfriend says his family are so excited to meet me, I feel there must be some sort of resentment towards me for taking their son away. I feel I know about Lebanese culture, but I'm sure actually being there in person will be totally different from everything my boyfriend has told me.
Any words of wisdom or anything relevant would be greatly appreciated!
