Talking to a lady who knows very little english.

<< < (2/5) > >>

Neil:
I'm going on 3 months through EMF's and my girl is diligently studying English.  She feels confident we'll be able to have a decent conversation soon.  I'm dying to hear her voice but I know it'll come sooner or later.  I'm learning the hard way not to rush.  Patience and understanding.   ;)

Irishman:
Jay, I think its important to realise that these pictures are taken by agency photographers mostly. And to be honest I think some of the ladies are a bit innocent as to how they are being portrayed.
The photographer gets them on a shoot and takes many many pictures over the course of a few hours and the agency uploads the ones they like. The lady I'm chatting with currently never even saw her profile on chnlove before i showed it to her when I was over there.

Regarding the language thing, it most definitely can be a problem, that's why I think its essential to chat to her if possible on msn , qq or whatever before going over there and discovering that you just cannot communicate with each other. She doesnt need to have perfect English, you can communicate a lot with even bad English and visual cues - thats why web cams work great!

Ronan:

I tend to agree on the photos.  However, I do think there are a small fraction that do know what they are doing when posing.  As Brittney Spears once sang, they are "not that innocent".  :P

I have sent her a letter to her to attempt to ween her off of EMF's.  I think if we continue down the EMF road, neither of us would be properly served.  I agree with Ronan and Vince have the right idea to venture into webcams, skype, and other tools.  I know that I didn't properly learn French until I was fully immersed in the language in France.  Both of us need to make the attempt to immerse each other in our languages in order to truly find out if we can make this work.

Yes, but she is responsible for her dress and projecting an image she's like others to see.

David:
Actually I think what might have happened is the translator was writing to Jay with the help of his lady and now his actual lady is doing the writing.  This same thing happened to me.  I could tell exactly when my translator stopped writing and the lady started writing her own letters...

Just my opinion... but let me guess... the letters also got shorter and now are not completely full of the lovey dovey stuff too?
