My girlfriend doesn't speak English, should I help her learn?

[Anonymous]

She only speaks Spanish, I end up having to translate a lot of things for her. At the same time, she's never expressed interest in learning English.

Yeah dude, it's totally cool of you to want to help your girl out! Language barriers can make things tough. But at the same time, don't wanna pressure her if she's not feeling it.

Maybe you could make it low-key fun for her? Like teach her basic words to get by day-to-day, stuff like food, hello, please etc. Or share songs/shows you both like so she picks it up casual. Flashcards on the couch or in the car could be chill.

And it might help if she sees it as a way you guys can connect more deeply - share experiences together in English too. Tell her how much it means to you to be able to really communicate without translating.

But if she's still not into it, respect that. Her English doesn't define your relationship, right? As long as you both try for each other, that's what matters. Maybe just lead by example, see if she gets curious on her own over time.

I'm sure you'll find a good balance dude. Just keep it positive and don't pressure. Your girl's lucky to have someone tryin to understand her like that!

if she doesn't feel the need... she won't learn... stop translating for her so she will discover the need :D
