Colombiana married to Gringo

[Wayne and Claudia 40]

My wife and I have been married for over a year and I have been following this site and at times responding. The problem is I respond in English and never get a response. If you are interested in moving to America learn to speak some rudimentary English and appreciate those who respond to you. Over a year has passed but it's time I said something. There is a reason there is an international language...and it's not Spanish. A pilot flying from Bogotat to Egypt? English. Digo ambas lenguas. Give English a chance. No one will make fun of you. To my Colombian friends...chow...sorry, I could not resist.

I'm also lost with this post. As we say in Colombia: "no entendí ni papa".

At the risk of stepping into something I don't want to, why?

why what? lol

Oh well,

First, I guess that English is your wife’s first language;

Second, If English isn’t her first language but Spanish, so I really hope she is going to read this post; and

Last, as you say that a Colombian got married to a ‘Gringo’, a ‘Gringo’ got married a Colombian as well. Do not forget that.

Why ambos lenguas and not ambas lenguas? My dictionary says lengua is a feminine noun and since ambos(as) is an adjective, I thought the adjective followed the gender (and number) of the noun.

Between words having gender and all the exceptions to the -o, -a rule (that, and the subjunctive mood and having two simple past tenses), I'm ready to put my head through the wall with this stuff.

I just want to figure this Spanish thing out so I can sound more intelligent than the average 5 year old when I'm down here in Colombia.

Never mind... I'm out!

Doh! You are right Ryna hahaha! Good call. Well, my first part at least stands, why make this post?

Wayne - why don't you post in Spanish if you want replys to your message? I wouldn't let it bother me if I were you.

this is a regional forum and ote (other than english) is perfectly acceptable within the regional forums.

And I also try my darndest to write it here in order to help the ones who's English is not that good yet and to better myself having the second language . Even though I do not post much I do not want to get a suspension for WHAT I REALLY WANT TO WRITE TO YOU.................

Bien dicho NArocks! Mi lengua maternal tambien es inglés pero no tengo ningún incomodidad con el hecho que otras comunican por aqui en español porque hablan un poco o nada de ingles. A mi este sitio es para ayudar a todas, no solo a los ingloparlantes para mejor entender este proceso. Antemano les pido disculpa porque mi español no es tan fuerte pero al foreo original de este comentario, falta y falatra mucho si no puede comunicar en español con tu esposa ni la familia de ella.

porque se esta demorando tanto la embajada de los estados unidos en Colombia, para progamar cita de entrevista en casos de visa CR1-CR2?

Nuestro caso fue cerrado el 31 de agosto, nunca tuvimos RFE, mi esposo se aseguro siempre de enviar incluso, mas de la informacion requerida con el animo de representar un matrimonio genuino y basado en el amor, de la forma que debe ser, pero la verdad es que estamos tristes, hoy hace 7 semanas, que llevamos en la espera, vimos pasar las entrevistas para octubre y nada, ahora las de noviembre y el operador de nvc respondio lo mismo que hace un mes, su caso no fue escogido, llame en la segunda semana de noviembre HABER SI TAL VEZ tenga opcion de diciembre.

En el tiempo que llevo en visa journey, me he dado cuenta que, Colombia, es una de las embajadas que se esta tomando mas tiempo.

Bueno... ya despues de el desahogo, me siento mejor, sera seguir esperando, tal vez diciembre sea nuestro mmes si Dios permite.
