'''Basic Trope''': A romantic couple doesn't speak the same language, but are together anyway.
* '''Straight''': Bob speaks only English; Alice speaks only French. Despite the language barrier, the two are dating.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob and Alice have been married for ten years and have a child. They ''still'' don't speak the same language.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob speaks only English; Alice is deaf and uses sign language, unable to read lips. However, the two can communicate via written notes.
* '''Justified''':
** They met when Bob was on a work trip to Paris.
** Alice was an exchange student when they met.
** They met at an international airport.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': The language barrier proves too difficult to manage, and the two break up after a couple months.
* '''Double Subverted''': However, the two quickly find they can't live without each other. Through ThePowerOfLove (and maybe a TranslatorBuddy or two), they make it work.
* '''Parodied''': Bob and Alice are the perfect couple precisely ''because'' they can't understand each other.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob and Alice have a RelationshipRevolvingDoor, until they finally either settle down together and learn to make work around the language barrier, break up permanently, or [[TakeAThirdOption one of them takes some lessons in the other's language]].
* '''Averted''': Bob and Alice both speak English, though Alice [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench is from France]].
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''':
-->'''Claire:''' Wait, so do you speak French at home?\\
'''Bob:''' No, I speak English.\\
'''Claire:''' Oh, so Alice has taken lessons?\\
'''Bob:''' No, she speaks French.\\
'''Claire:''' And you don't understand it?\\
'''Bob:''' Nope, not a word.\\
'''Claire:''' And she can't understand you.\\
'''Bob:''' So far as I can tell, no.\\
'''Claire:''' ...How does that work?\\
'''Bob:''' Perfectly.
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': "I can't ask her out! Literally! I have no idea what she's saying!"
* '''Discussed''': "What do you mean you want to marry her? You can't even ''talk'' to her!"
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': PoorCommunicationKills, and Bob and Alice's relationship suffers for it.
* '''Reconstructed''': Despite their problems, they really do love each other, and work out a new system (be it hand gestures, FacialDialogue, language lessons, or [[TranslatorBuddy bilingual friends]]) that allows them to be together.
* '''Played for Laughs''': Alice is a DeadpanSnarker with a penchant for HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier. Bob has absolutely no idea, but thanks to FunWithSubtitles, the audience does.
* '''Played for Drama''': Alice is an immigrant. The fact that she and her husband don't even speak the same language makes it much harder to persuade the immigration offices that it's ''not'' a CitizenshipMarriage, and she's in serious danger of being deported.
