Ana has an accent too. She is moer an more confident everday.

she had attended ESL classes at the local Adult Ed school. She formed a study group. About 5 ladies get togther every week at someone's house and talk for about 3 hours! Most of them speak different alnguages so they areforce to speak in english if they wish to communicate.

As an added bonus, they are teaching eah other how to cook in the hostess' emmmm home country's way.

Haha, I swear my future MIL does not speak Portuguese, let alone English. I can barely communicate with her in her weird country Portuguese. My boyfriend and his siblings tell me that even they can't understand her.

I feel your pain on that one.

actually, alex, not being able to understand your MIL could be a blessing in disguise

we are the opposite...

Javed said he understands my mothers english better than mine. he said her accent is

a lot better too.

hey girl! how are ya doin?

Sujeet speaks very fluent English and has no troubles. But I can relate to how you are feeling, when I try to talk to Sujeet's family in India. If it's to his sisters I'm fine because they talk slower and they speak english pretty clearly. When I have talked to my father-in-law, his accent is very strong and I don't know enough hindi to speak to him in that and I panic. I hate saying "what?" over and over because I don't want him to feel bad. I am the one who has to learn more of a new language to be able to speak to my in laws and I find it very nerve wracking if I speak to them. I applaud everyone who is fluent in more than one language.

well, get cracking, you'll have the opportunity soon enough!!!

Namaste

Namaste!

my family and i think my husband speaks great english but others have told him he dont. when he first came here i noticed when we were in public he would get alot of "huhhh's" (is that how to spell it?) he would say...dont i speak good english or somthing. people seam to not understand me.

for me i have a problem understanding oriental people. i really have to pay close attention.

My fiancé is Canadian. And not québéçois. So no problems there.

But to the original poster, just keep practicing and don't be shy! English is challenging, but the best way to learn a foreign language is to use it continually.

Since English is his first language, of course he speaks it fluently. Doesn't really have an accent when he speaks English either, but when he's angry and speaks Patoi its a different story.

My fiancé's native language is French, and his English is pretty good. The only issues he really has with it are some grammar errors and not knowing some of the words. Even though I'm usually a huge grammar nazi, I'd be disappointed if he started using correct grammar all the time because the errors are one of the many things that I find so adorable about him.

His mother speaks only French, so I'll be working at becoming fluent one of these days. I took three and a half years of French in high school from the later part of 1996 to the early part of 2000, so I have a fairly decent head start.

My fiance speaks better english then me and helped me write half my papers for school.. Though when she first came to the states her english was very very limited but she went to english classes at the university first to learn english then got her degrees.. Occasionally she will say something really funny and we giggle about it .. like Bullito! (burrito normally.. the bullito just comes out occasionally.) .. its awesome.. she is not ashamed of her accent or some words she speaks incorrectly.

the errors are one of the many things that I find so adorable about him.

Ain't that the truth..Yeah my fiances mom and brother are the only ones in the family that speak english the rest chinese.. I am learning .. and doing a great job I must say.
