good sharing
When I know my bx 7 years back, she knows abit of english but due to staying in vn for too long, she forget. Now I only speak TV to my bx and I do not know her standard of english and mandarin. Sometimes she will ask me how to say this and that in mandarin. At least she still can communicate abit with my mum and dad in mandarin daily. I guess my bx knows alot more now but she just dare not speak out.
My bx only watch viet movies/series online and seldom watch TCS program. She has her niece and friends in Sillypore so her exposure to our language is minimum.
I go market with my bx and i do the translation, queuing up to pay etc.. sometimes i feel that becoz i am around so she depends on me. Few times when going to market, there is no lot to park my car, my bx will ask me to wait in car while she go any buy vege and meat. She will come back with bags full of stuff... it makes me wonder how she did it
As for food, most of the time we eat at home with my parents. Viet cooked by my bx or sillypore food cooked by my mum also no problem. When my bx like a certain food, she will continue eating it for few days. For the past 2 weeks, I have been eating roti prata with my bx for supper every night.
I feel like vomitting even whenever I see roti prata now
Actually we need not worry so much for our viet partner on whether they are used to the life and culture here in Sillypore... Their surviving and adapting skills are stronger than what we can think of.
