I can understand using these for situations where you're only going to be around a language for a limited amount of time (business trip, vacation, etc). But presumably your in-laws are going to be around for a while, so what's the rationale for not learning to speak their language?
- cortesoft 9y agoBecause we have limited hours in the day?
- mrexroad 9y agoI’ve been trying for 10 years and still haven’t made any meaningful progress; I’ve always struggled with language, even in immersive environments for several months. TBH I do prioritize spending the few hours I have during evenings/weekends with my children.
- chipperyman573 9y agoNot the OP but trying to learn another language so that you can speak it with people you see maybe twice a year seems a little silly. I would agree with you if OP lived with their inlaws or something, though.
- baby 9y agoI see my inlaws twice a year or less, still learning the language (or at least trying).
