Suggest me a book where a person/group encounters an alien race where they struggle learn their culture and language but they gain an understanding of each other and can work together for a common cause.
I grew up with Star Trek and Stargate. I recently read Project Hail Mary it's a spoiler for the book. I really loved the interaction between the main character and the one from an alien race.

Remnant Population by Elizabeth Moon,
I just finished The Left Hand Of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. Except for issues with language this book fits your request perfectly.
China Mieville’s *Embassytown* was pretty cool.
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
The Color of Distance by Amy Thomson, astronaut is stranded on an alien planet and the native frog-like people have to learn to communicate with her.
