Title: Marriage with latinas - your experiences
Post by: jam on September 20, 2001, 04:00:00 AM
OK guys. I am sure this question has been posted many times. But it is soooo important that I dare to ask again. Any opinion from those who went through this (or hopefully are in the middle) will be highly appreciated.
Sure it depends on the person you are involved with. But how does it work, what kind of problems do people face when you are involved with different culture. Did it work? You are transplanting person from other country...like Colombia for example. What about common friends, language problem, cultural preferences...I, for example, am Polish decent bunch of my friends are Polish we speak different language among ourselves often...it might be a problem for a partner...
Don't get me wrong...I love many thing about latin culture, I speak Spanish pretty well, I am big salsa lover and I love latinas:))) But want to hear view of those who went through it.
Gracias amigos, Leszek

"What about common friends, language problem, cultural preferences"

Yep, those issues are very real, and don't underestimate them!...in our case, the language problem is somewhat mitigated as I speak spanish...but she is nonetheless, somewhat isolated from society at the moment as her english is limited.

I would encourage you to enroll her in ESL classes, if available, at a local Community College ASAP.  Mine is going 2hrs/day, 7 days a week.  Not only is it helping her learn English, but she is making a whole new set of friends...

Mike
