text: I am the same. Its ok you only need to know the really wonderful words. You can teach him english, but really you can understand each other without speaking, i had a friend that was mexican and when i started talking to him he didnt understand one word of english but he just copied what i said. We mostly talked over the internet cause he couldnt speak english and now he speaks it better then i do.\n\nJust learn a few words a day, you can learn spanish as he learns english...\n\nSpanish .. romantic ... makes you melt.. or keep it the way it is and let your heart melt every time you hear a few words that you understand... \n\nIf you learn spanish ... will it take away from the special words he tells you .... \n\ni say let him learn english !!
