[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think this is a bit different as most educated Indians speak fluent English. A lot of other Asian immigrants have parents who learned English through coming to English speaking countries as adults and had very little formal education. My mother came over from Asia after having 2 kids and learned English through trying to get any type of job to support us while my dad finished grad school. She never gained complete fluency and was often embarrassed and self-conscious to have full conversations in front of my friends. [/quote] Then your mother must have some appreciation for how it feels being surrounded by people speaking a language you're not comfortable in. There are many ways of making someone feel comfortable even if you don't speak their language. OP's ILs don't seem to be doing that.[/quote]
