Well think about the future, if you think it could work and if both of you are trying hard enough to be invested in a relationship. If not, there are other people for both of you, so dw.

He can already speak a little bit of English. I can't speak Spanish at all. Who should be making the effort? Someone who will be a beginner in Spanish and take years to gain fluency or someone who already is Beginner-Intermediate in English?

Doesn't speak a lot of English. He's Spanish, speaks Spanish and can speak Italian very well. He knows a little bit of Portguese too. His English is conversational to the point he can work and do basic stuff. But not more than that.

How can he expect me to have a full blown relationship when he won't even learn English? Is he just superficial?

Hi, maybe learn Spanish instead? Ever considered that?…

Sounds like a troll. If you don’t want to make any effort then break up and don’t waste his time tbh.
You expect him to learn a new language just so that he can date you? I certainly wouldn’t. Why don’t you learn Spanish? This isn’t a valid use of anonymous and seems trollish.

You sound like a troll when given the actual logic. The audacity.

He's not making any effort as he wont speak English.
Well, he should be the one doing more as it will take me months or years.

If I make an effort then I can talk to him in full fluency? Are you serious?
Learn from Katie Price and Leandro Penna.:biggrin:
Plus don't rely on google translate.
He is superficial as he just won't learn English. If he won't then why should I? Learning basic Spanish won't help me talk to him. Is that hard to understand?
He only socialises with Italians and those who speak Spanish. That's why he hasn't picked up English.

You don't have to fluent straight away just show you are willingly to learn a language to be with him but obviously it seems like you don't want to...
He has to learn some English but those are only a few words and phrases. Also he works as a floor assistant so he had to know some English at least.

Also I think this isn't Spain or South America but UK so he has to know some English otherwise how will he even live here?

Me showing i want to learn isn't going to help us have full conversations. The one who has some idea of the language should be making an effort not expecting a novice or someone who will be a beginner to learn
