Just curious of all the couples out there, who has learned the other's language? Which do you mostly speak, or do you speak a mixture? Do any couples out there have a hard time communicating, and if so how do you survive? What is your plan for raising children?

My fiance is Guatemalan and we speak Spanish, although a little bit of English is thrown in there at times. I was born and raised in the US, have no hispanic family (other than my soon-to-be-husband (L) ), learned Spanish in school (I actually teach Spanish at a local high school) and my first trip to a Spanish-speaking country was when I met my husband :P He does not speak much English but is attempting to learn, mostly from me, little by little. We plan on raising our children to be bilingual.

Just wondering how the other couples work it out - did the USC learn the foreign language, or did the alien learn English? Feel free to share stories!!

We speak English to each other, altho hubby is determined to learn Malay and wants our future kids to be bilingual growing up. My extended family speaks English to him, so no problem there but I guess our jokes and stuff in Malay sometimes lose its flavor when translated ;) When I get there I'd definitely have a day set aside to teach him I think.. He's a fast learner, so we shall see :thumbs:
