2. Books on Language and Translation: Look for books that delve into the nuances of different languages, the art of translation, or even memoirs of renowned translators. Some popular titles include "Is That a Fish in Your Ear?" by David Bellos and "The Man Who Made Lists: Love, Death, Madness, and the Creation of Roget's Thesaurus" by Joshua Kendall.

Customized Language Learning Materials: Consider creating personalized language learning materials, such as flashcards or cheat sheets, focusing on phrases and vocabulary related to love and relationships. These customized resources will align with their passion for language learning while also being a heartfelt expression of your friendship.

5. Travel Experience: Surprise the couple by planning a trip to a country where the language they are learning is spoken. Immerse them in the culture and give them the opportunity to practice their language skills in a real-life setting. This could be a honeymoon destination or a future trip they can plan together.

6. Language-themed Décor: Look for home décor items that incorporate different languages, such as wall art with inspirational quotes in foreign languages, decorative pillows featuring languages and their translations, or even a custom-made world map with countries labeled in their respective languages.

7. Subscription to a Foreign Language Magazine: Give them a subscription to a magazine in the language they are learning. This will provide them with regular exposure to the language, as well as interesting articles and cultural insights.

8. Language Exchange Meetup Membership: Consider purchasing a membership or voucher for language exchange meetups or clubs in their area. These gatherings provide opportunities to connect with native speakers and fellow language enthusiasts, allowing them to practice their language skills while making new friends.

9. Personalized Translation Tool: Invest in a high-quality electronic translator that helps with instant translations and pronunciation. Look for a model that supports various languages and features an intuitive interface, making it easy for them to use during their language learning journey.

10. Handwritten Letter or Scrapbook: Write a heartfelt letter expressing your well-wishes and congratulations for their wedding, and consider doing it in a foreign language they are learning. Alternatively, create a scrapbook or photo album featuring their language learning journey, highlighting their achievements and growth.

“This was such a beautiful gift for my son and his wife for the day they married. My only problem was I left it in the cart where I tried to buy a frame and they never got to see it. I have to order another one, it was too perfect of a gift 🎁👍❤️”
