Hajo and others, If the lady gives you her number and other contact info but says her english isn't good enough to talk on the phone? Believe it. If she sent her phone number, then she wants to show she's fulfilling the request but knows enough to not get embarrassed or get frustrated on the phone. Or have you be the same and give up because of.
Vince, I don't like to admit it but your are right again, haha! Yes, their english is not good, to say in a nice way :rolleyes:
I guess, I have been especially lucky with my lady. She is not good at her english. But we do a lot writing while "talking" on the phone. We did the first talk last week (3,5 hours with many laughs). I had expected 10 minutes or so for the first call!
Well I cannot say why but the ice has been broken rather quick. After the experience I had with Wei Yi I did not expect such fast development in a relationship. But yes, this one is "1 of a million" I think! But I must also say I am lucky with the translator, I talk to the translator on QQ. She supported me a lot! I think this one is just a lucky coincidence of any circumstances.
To get back to the phone. We do not much actual talking. We write a lot and then we try to say some of the sentences we write. It is easier for her to say the english sentences. But we have many laughs when I try the Chinese sentences
That is although one of the reasons I am not as active in the forum as I have been. Vicky is taking a lot of my time. But I won't miss it!!!
To put all together, I have been very lucky with this one. It depends always on the individual lady. Some give their trust faster then others. I told my lady that it was a good idea to know the voices and we needed some training to be able to communicate when I go their in August. As I said, I was lucky that she agreed to talk on the phone. But she was also nervous like hell as I called her the first time.
And if you get your lady on the the phone, do not *sigh*, she will think it is because of her lack of english! I did once, not because of her english, but because I was so far away from the lady with the beautyful voice. It takes a lot to explain such things when you do not speak the same language. So, be careful what you say!
I wish that more of you guys would have the same expierience! It´s the most wonderful thing ever happened to me!
