Hi everyone,
I went on a coffee date on my last day off from work yesterday. I had a match on Hinge, the woman I met is a couple of years younger than me, and has moved to Australia from Colombia around a year ago. She warned me during our initial text chat that her grasp of the English language is elementary at best. I said I didn't mind, however, when we met for coffee, I didn't realize how much of a struggle it would be. Sure, we were able to have a conversation, but it wasn't like if you were talking to someone that speaks English as a first language. I know she didn't understand some words I said, and the English words she used, I found hard at times to understand due to her accent. She's a nice lady, although I'm unsure whether to pursue or not, as I think that this could develop into a frustrating issue communication wise.
Has anyone else been in this situation, and have advice?
