I am a very sad case when it comes to my husband's language... I moved to India to train and coach engineers in culture and language (English), so the focus was generally on me NOT speaking local languages with the people I work with... :( When we first started dating, I learned a few uh, choice phrases from him and his colleagues... Nothing I can print in here!

Unfortunately, Ritesh is from Delhi and we live in Bangalore - neither of us speak the local language! I tried for a few months with a language instructor who had taught Peace Corps volunteers in the 1960's, thinking it would be with the teaching/learning methods I went through in the 2002 Peace Corps in Kazakstan... That didn't go too well! I plan on finding a Western style instructor who is a native Hindi speaker when we get to the US so that I can communicate with him in a Hinglish way at least!

Hi Carolyn -

Welcome to VJ and the married Life :thumbs:

I was hoping you might be able to keep me informed and I can do the same as to when you Get a case # for your Petition.

I to filed at USCIS in Delhi Late Dec but have yet to get a Case number# :crying:

As to your thought on Communicating with Banglis a fun way to learn is through movies Bangli ones are fun. But, like anything else we do in life I think the more we do it the better we get at it. I hope the best for you guys

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY (F)
