Mine went brilliantly, my gf got annoyed with me part way through when she realised all of her family liked me more than her and were pretty much ignoring her... She used the words "give me my family back".

But all of her sisters speak good English.

And have you never had a conversation with someone you don't share a common tongue with? It can be hard work but good fun. We got there in the end for every conversation.

sit down on an aeroplane from Frankfurt to Dubai, and to impress the arabic chap next to you, you utter the two words you know in arabic: Kayfa haluk?

So the non-english speaking arab thinks that you speak arabic fluently, and for the entire trip he looks to you for translation every time there is an announcement in English over the speaker system. :banghead:

I am not sure if the in laws liking me is a good thing or not.

Though seriously after a few days there I started to understand parts of the conversation somewhat.

I found it hard to say no and the food there is brilliant.

[Pat Vegas]

I must remind him of him.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

And how they could see we were good together.

She also quizzed me about liking and wanting children........
