I've been asking my boyfriend to teach me his language, but each time he only goes over the same few words. It appears that he does not have the patience to teach me the language. But now I am getting paranoid and thinking that he just does not want me to learn it. A male friend of mine told me that he probably does not want me to learn it, so that he can maintain relationships with other women without me knowing. When I mentioned this to my boyfriend he got so upset that he told me I should ask my male friend to teach me, and now he refuses to teach me at all.  What should I do? Has anyone had any difficulty learning the language. |

hey dear, I personally dnt think it was right to have confromted him with the fact that he doesnt want to teach u because he wants to use it to maintain other relationships. Some pple dnt just have patience with some things k?i have patience with every other thing but dn't really have the patience to teach pple how to drive. |

@Senator - You are right. Also, when I said it I said it with anger, which is why he says it's not up for discussion right now. |

well i guess you ought to know what to do at this point right? it would be sad to lose a good relationship for an issue as mild as that. if he won't teach you sure you'd find people with patience enough to k? Cheers |

My hubby is gladly teaching me the language. In addtion there are other people here that are teaching me. He gets exicted everytime i learn a new word or phrase. He loves it when the children speak his language as well. I guess different men. He thinks it is cool that people here are teaching me to speak the language. |

Sista - My honey also gets very excited when I the words, but as I told him I want to speak in whole sentences, paragraphs, etc. I want to learn how to speak it fluently. He says it would be difficult to get me to that point. |

nalijah07: It is something that has be taken step by step, word by word. Do not get to over exicted. You will learn it der, der or is it dir,dir. The only way to learn it hard core is, like he once told me. If I take you to Nigeria give you to my sister and tell her to only speak Yoruba to you, no English, you will learn in 3 weeks. other than that der,der not pupu. Dont chop me up on my spelling i just learning |
