I’ts hard to shift to new language specially when it’s not your mother language.I speak 26 years “tagalog”.Last 2004,I have to speak “English” so that my husband can understand me.His a multiple language and I’m proud of him.His able to speak,English,French,Letzebourgesch,German,Tagalog and Italian.I start to learn “letzebourgesch first,and one word a day is important in able to communicate with mothers there in school of my son.The first sentence I learn in Letzebourgesch is”ech hun dech garen ganz ganz vill! means I love you!then follow by 20 more common sentence every day.Hard but I have to do it so I can speak up myself to the Letzebourgesh people around me.That’s the only “barrier”I encounter when marrying a foreigner but I love my husband’s language,It’s more evolute than English.
