How Long Does It Take to Learn the Emotional Language of Another Culture?

Research shows that people second language learners continue to prefer their first language if they talk about emotional topics. In some ways do we all carry our own version of emotions within us and each of us in some ways is calibrating our internal sense of emotions to the context in which we find ourselves? I really think about it that way. The differences become more obvious when you cross certain you know national or geographical boundaries. But I think yes I think families have their own cultures too, religions have their cultures, you could argue that genders have their cultures.
