So if you would be in a relationship with a guy from another country who lives in your country. In many of your cases that wouls be the USA. He speaks your language, would you bother learning his language? If things were serious that is?

QUOTE Jun 17, 2012 11:10 PM GMTmy guy (American) most definitely made the effort and learned some German. Just to be able to talk to my parents and understand dinner-conversations when we are visiting my folks.

I would feel honored to date a foreigner and learn his language while I can teach him mine. I feel like it will make your bond stronger

I learned sign language as a way of getting to know, but then to help get over a guy who knew sign language... too bad he didn't have much good to say with his words. College degrees are useless ways of masking one's personal sense of emotional disfunction/atrophy. -
Posted by a hidden member.Log in to view his profileQUOTE Jun 18, 2012 2:29 AM GMTI've never dated a foreign guy, but I've dated two American-born guys whose parents were immigrants. One had parents from Panama and another with parents from Vietnam of Chinese descent. As for the one with Panamanian parents, that was never a problem because I already speak Spanish as a native language. The other with Chinese-Vietnamese parents proved to be more interesting because I tried learning Cantonese during the time we dated. However, we broke up before I ever met his parents, lol.

Posted by a hidden member.Log in to view his profileQUOTE Jun 18, 2012 9:17 PM GMTI love learning new languages.
I've been in Positano Italy for the past few weeks and have spent some time with a totally awesome guy named Piero.
He speaks conversational English and quite honestly if geography were different I would totally learn Italian for him.
The language barrier is kind of a bitch, especially if you don't really hit it off with the person you are with. But when the chemistry is right, it seems to just work.
Consequently, I'll probably never see sweet Piero again so I will count my blessings cut my losses and follow the yellow brick road. -

Well he wasn't a great person either but that's another story, haha.
Anywa, my answer is yes. If you love someone who speaks another language it would be nice and totally worth it to learn his language. I mean, even if you split up afterwards, you now know a new language and that is very useful, even in the language is not one of the most "important or basic ones". Knowledge never hurts
