Re: His parents don't speak English - April 22nd 2015, 06:32 PM

Hey there,

I don't think that's racist at all. Majority of people would try to learn a language if they are moving to another country to live, well I certainly would. I think it might be nice if you learn a few phrases so you can say hello and ask how they're doing but I don't think you should need to learn a whole new language just so you can communicate with your boyfriend's parents. Unfortunately some people aren't willing to speak a new language. I think in these circumstances you need to be honest with your boyfriend and just tell him what you think, I'm pretty sure he will know you aren't racist, he has to look at both sides and understand that it's asking a lot of you to learn Spanish just for his parent's sakes.

I wish you the best of luck,
Paige
