The girl I'm interested in can't speak English... I need HELP!!!

[sweetLover123]

There’s this girl I’m interested in, I met her through A Foreign Affair, she’s from Bangkok, Thailand and she barely speaks English. The services of AFA has provided a free translator and have been translating for us. When we had our first call it was a bit awkward… but she’s still someone I’m interested in.

 

I’m just a bit worried about how genuine her words really are. Let’s be honest, translations aren’t as accurate as we want them to be. So, now I am a thorn. I want to know more about her because she seems to be a real sweetheart but at the same time, I can’t be completely sure about how we will be able to talk to each other, especially when things work out between us. What should I do? I really need some advice and help!!! Should I still continue and try my luck with her? Advice, please!

Easy answer. No. Unless you plan on taking a translator on all your dates.

I mean, I'm assuming you're interested in DDlg because you're here so how do you expect to ask and/or communicate about that and other important stuff without speaking the same language?

I know a couple who speak different languages. She’s learning English by barely knew any when they first met. Now she speaks English moderately well, enough where I can speak with her and consider her a close friend.

 

It can work, but it’s not easy. One of you has to learn the other’s language eventually. Maybe you could even work together to teach each other. I think it’s possible because I’ve seen it work before, but it’s a lot of hard work and you need to be willing to do that. If you like her enough to make it worth it, then you should do it :3

I personally would wait a while to get to know her a bit more first but if your heart says go for it... Go for it!

Hey mate,

 

First off that's a brave adventure. Speaking English isn't necessary to get involved with someone but either your or her have to start learning English or Thai. And trust me when I say this that being involved with someone motivates you to pickup that language a lot faster. I suggest both of learn the others language

It's going to be hard and sometimes you'd have trouble getting what each other wants to say but I'm sure you can find a way if both of you are willing to put in the effort

 

Anyway, good luck and I hope it works out.
