You clearly stated Ukraine.English is not their official language neither is their native language so please don't confuse issues here.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.Ask yourself why hasn't our first lady improved on her grammar with all the money at her feet?
English is the official language of communication in the world so i am not confusing issues here.

Seems like you are more worried about other people's opinion of your bf other than yours.
You have not said communication is a challenge between you to.
You can't control how other perceives you and as long as this dude carries himself in a respectable way then surely lingo should be the least of ya problems.
anyhoo, at least you are honest . . . .  grin grin grin grin grin

Hi nairalanders, i just met this guy through a friend.He's cute,cool and works in a very nice establishment.My only problem is that his command of the English language is extremely BAD as in a total write-off.He has asked me to be his girl but i dont want to date someone that will turn out to be an embarassment.Guys/Girls what would you do if you were to be in my condition?

If your friends have to find you a boyfriend you must not be too much of a prize either!

But I'm sure if the man were rich you wouldn't give a damn about how well he speaks English!

Nah--- There's no point dating someone I'm not comfortable with. But, you can never know. If he makes up for "it" very well in other areas then, I may consideR. It depends sha.

Good english is a background. Besides, i've seen alot of people who speaks very well but cannot put down a sentence in writing. visit offices and u will find out de truth urself. if this guy in question is a graduate and has a good job, i see no reason why u should be battling over common lingua franca. ur time is going ooooooooo, A BIRD IN HAND IS WORTH TWO IN DE BUSH. 2morow now, u will start looking for a miracle dat will help u marry

If I were the cute young man and you date me and try to correct me as many are suggesting on this forum. Hmmm, I would in no matter of time eventually "straggle" you. I just hate to be Anglo-African. MY English is poor and I am proud of it.

You know one way i try to scare off white women when they bother me is by using a very scary african accent with broken english. When they hear my heavy african accent they run off very fast!

OK German greetings 101!

Never ever greet a German with "HEIL HITLER". Although there would be some who wont mind. At same time, there would be some who would really really be displeased by a "BLACKMAN" saying that.

Ok now to the pleasant part.

Good morning - Guten Morgen
Good day = Guten Tag
How do you do? - Wie geht's? (Wie geht es Ihnen? - formal)

And in the southern States you can also say:

Gruß Gott - Greet God
Servus (Bavarian)
Ade - bye (Schwabian but from French Adieu)

If you want more we would have to sign a memorandum whereby I will have 50 percent of your ancestral land for agricultural development. I assure you that all your folks will get a mercedes Benz or BMW or AUDI. grin
