Meeting Or Marrying A Spouse From Overseas

The language of love is all good and well, but when it comes to understanding the language and culture of your partner or - perhaps more pressing - meeting your new in-laws, a few choice phrases can turn around the most daunting of situations.

The Language Learning Reality

Meeting, partnering and marrying someone from another country is a wonderful thing to do, and we congratulate you if you're in that situation right now. The flip side is that, of the couples we've spoken to and worked with, an overwhelming majority maintain that it's almost impossible to learn the other language from their partner!

The Language Learning Solution

Cactus Language Training provides cleverly tailor-made courses which allow you to shape the thematic content of your course. Your experienced, qualified and native-speaker trainer then pitches the lessons at your level of ability and gently introduces the structures and key phrases you need, all whilst giving you the language you really want to master.

In the past we have planned and run courses for individuals, couples and small groups of family members who want to be able to communicate with their new extended family. Take a look at our full list of courses and remember that we can always adapt these to your individual tastes and needs.

You can, for example, prepare conversational areas for initial meetings and encounters, write and practise a speech, or simply build basic confidence or advanced fluency in a new language. The opportunities are endless and you'll find it's a lot of fun too!
