I spent the majority of my life relocating from divorced parents and know that it can be quite traumatic for children to deal with a relocation. Let alone a move of such a magnitude as a whole other country with a new language. Could everyone give me their advice on this and how handled it or are handling it? Thanks a lot
P.S. This site is great, and I'am looking forward to finding someone to settle down with...
Hmm I just hit a random page number and found this interesting topic which has been completely forgotten about.
I'm currently chasing after a woman with a child and neither of them speak english.
The only thing I can suggest is that you would perhaps get to know more about her and if necesssary get an interpreter. Make sure that they learn english. Bring them to your country for a holiday a few times so they can get the idea of what it's really like.
Offer to pay for the children to learn english aswell as the mother if necesary. Kids apparently languages much quicker - Did you also know that Toddlers can learn 2 or 3 languages at the same time and distinguish between them? - Parents from different countrys can speak to their kids from an early age in their own language and the kids learn both simultaneously!
Don't just stop there though. If they are prepared to learn english why should you not honour their respect and learn their language? - If you can't communicate in one language then try another!
IF (and this is a BIG IF) I get a long with my friend and her son enough to perhaps get involved with her then I will without a doubt have lessons to learn her language(s) (she speaks 3 BUT NO ENLGISH!!!)
I think that the younger the kid the easier he adjust to you and to the country. Find Russian families in your town with kids of the some age. Communication with them will help your bride’s kid to adjust to new environment.
Good luck
