Would you be interested in learning your partner’s native language?

Question

I think I would, especially if it meant I could understand what they’re saying when they suddenly switch languages around their family hehe..

Plus, being able to flirt…or argue 😁 in two languages sounds like a useful relationship skill loll.

Would you want to learn your partner’s native language?

Kind of. I had an ex who was from Mexico, and I'd love to learn Spanish. It's just that it's a lot of effort, and I feel like the only time I wouldn't be lazy about it is if I actually move to the country. Otherwise, I don't see a big need.

The top languages I want to learn anyways are... Spanish, portuguese, italian, japanese, and german. It's just a daunting task

My wife is Chinese and Mandarin is her native language. All of her friends are Chinese and they talk nonstop Mandarin. I am SURE that they are talking about me, but I have no idea what they are saying. Damn right I'd like to speak Mandarin, but she refuses to teach me. . . says it would be too difficult.

I think it's not a bad idea because they are always going to want to hear sexual things in their own language. If a man was speaking another language to me during sex, it might be exciting at first but it would get tiresome very fast not having those words in my head associated with those meanings.

I don't mind learning new languages but I need to be interested in the language and it should give me some benefit... If it's just for one person who speaks my language anyway, unlikely that I'll seriously study it.

Absolutely yes. Learning your partner’s native language is peak romance and peak emotional intimacy. You’re not just learning words, you’re learning the way they think.

Flirting in their language? Major green flag. Arguing in two languages? Advanced relationship DLC. Plus, you’ll know if they’re lovebombing you or low‑key roasting you in front of their family. 😜

AviatorTom · Answer

Yes, and I have. My first wife's parents spoke Spanish as their native language. Though they spoke excellent English, they appreciated that I learned enough Spanish to communicate with them in their original language.

I probably know it already if he’s my partner….

Lesbologist · Answer

My ex was Japanese and I learned Japanese to a point before meeting her. It was crazy because she didn't speak English at all, but she took classes and was speaking English really clearly after a couple years. So yeah, I'd be interested... it's not that hard when you're just using that language everyday like that. My side chick at that time was also Japanese, but she was a fucking retard and never learned to speak English. Probably why I never took my side-chick seriously.

... if anybody wonders why I had two chicks... it's a different culture, sort of expected for guys like me.

tiredpanda · Answer

I would. I think learning partner’s language is a way of showing respect and making an effort to understand him and his background. It also shows genuine interest in his culture. Plus it would definitely come in handy when speaking to his family if they don’t speak any other language.

From experience, arguing using a foreign language is weird. It's a bit like when your kids annoy you at the wrong moment and all you manage to say is a bunch of nonsense "Go brush your fridge!! 😡"

NathanDavis · Answer

Italian, French... Portuguese, Catalán I could do that

thegreenyogi · Answer

Absolutely. I love languages and part of loving a person is learning to communicate in their language, it helps get into their brain, how they think, how they respond to your cues and it's part of who they are.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I already know it. It's some of her slang that I'd like to learn. But, even she doesn't know much of it because the part I'm interested in was hip before she was born and, apparently, isn't used anymore.

MikeTheBartender · Answer

I speak 3 languages currently... Used to speak Russian but it became useless when I left NYC and after travel to there. So definitely yes for me.

For sure. Not knowing what the family is saying would worry me. And he would lie and tell me it was something nice whether it was or not lol
