In November I'm flying over to Peru to spend two months with my SO and I couldn't be more excited to see the country he comes from, experience his culture and become immersed in his life. I don't speak much Spanish though and it seems slow going on my trying to learn it! Partly because of this language barrier and partly because of the cultural differences I am getting increasingly more nervous about actually meeting and staying with his family!
My SO has a son and spends time with him on Saturdays and both he and I think it might be a little much to just throw me into the mix straight away so I know I will have at least a few hours on Saturdays without my SO able to act as interpreter, and I don't want to just stay quiet as that might come across as rude!
Do any of you lovely people have any good advice or ideas to make the whole meeting the family thing a little smoother?! I'm sure I can't be the only one that has a situation like this!
Thanks! B x
