[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you 22:07 PP for understanding my feeling. It is about courtesy and respect. Also thank you 22:21 PP for showing me another side of this matter. It is very true that it it is not fair for everyone else to accommodate 1 person. Also thank to those learning Cantonese advice.

I tried learning Cantonese in the few year we were dating when they actually spoke more English when I came over. Because of the feelings of welcoming from them, I felt I need to learn the language to be part of the family and I could understand a handful of Cantonese words to guess some of the conversation . But when we live together before marry, they spoke less English. I felt disrespectful and brought the subject up to my husband attention. He then told me to learn Cantonese. He doesn't always  translate the conversation unless I ask or if he want to share.  Sometimes I heard my name in their conversation but no one would translate it.  I lovefor my daughter to speak and understand multi language, I just dont want them to tell her something that I am not allow her to do ( due to different parenting style) and i I will not catch it if I don't understand.
