Deep dives
Learning a language with your partner may not be ideal
If you are in a relationship, trying to learn your partner's language may not be the best approach. Developing a new language connection with your partner can be challenging, frustrating, and may not yield ideal results. Since you already have an established relationship in your native language, it can be difficult to switch to a new language with your partner. It is recommended to focus on creating new relationships with native speakers or language teachers to improve language skills, as these relationships provide better motivation and immersion. Additionally, partners can still play a role in language learning by introducing you to their family or friends who speak the target language, creating opportunities for practice and immersion.
