That's great! Even though your now slowly learning, are you planning on keeping speaking english together? Or do you want to change to one of your native languages later on?

Hungarian and Marathi are both quite difficult languages, too!

Thank you 😊

Yes, both the languages are quite difficult to learn. We want to continue using both the languages. Sometimes Hungarian and sometimes Marathi. Whichever feels natural to us in the particular moment. Let's see how that goes 😉

@TifennOh that sounds really difficult with another alphabet...

Well I began learning it in school, so I already knew a bit of the language when I met him, and Spanish is way more easy than Russian.... I mean spanish is in general not soo complicated...

And yeah I know this, once the necessity is gone/lower or isn't there, we learn less. Sadly I experienced that with spanish, too, and over all, my boyfriend experiences this a lot with german, whats a bit of a problem to be honest

@Tifenn Oh and one question too, so in which language do you work, in your language, in russian, english or other?

@mypartnerisforeign sorry for the late replay ! I usually work in my language (french) but sometimes I have patient who speak other languages (especially english and russian) and to be honest it's convenient to know these other languages that's why I can do a medical consultation in english or in russian. And now the fun fact is that when I have to speak english, russian words come 😅

@nora thats great you can both communicate so easily now in both your languages where you are comfortable, and thanks for the tipp, yes I think discipline is the clue!! 😳🤔

Hi, thanks for your answer! Thats really great - you're right, I think in my/our case it's a lack of discipline and willingness, to be honest... The matter is also that I feel comfortable in his language, and he in his own language too of course, so we dont have like this uncomfortable situation to have to communicate in a language we don't like.

But even though, it would make more sense to speak my language = the language of the country. So we have to work on it XD

That's great you were both motivated to learn each other's language! Often I hear that just one of the couple is learning the other language. But in your case I like the equlibrium.

I already knew the language of my partner quite well, so it was clear we would speak his language and not mine.

makes sense! good luck for you two

Ah ok that's really great that he is willing to learn your language also! Wish you all the best! XO
