As pointed out by someone earlier - this is a two way problem, so the answer might be to get your husband to speak tagalog! My two former partners were from Thailand. One sppeaks poor English, the other one is very good. both have lived in the UK for many years. But neither have the range of voabulary that Mae and you other ladies seem to have. I hope I am not being patronising - just trying to be complimentary!

Thais will generally from what i have seen watch thai films or have them dubbed ( i don't know many, only one mates had a few girlfriends and a wife from thailand) all prefered thai films or at least there own language.

Phills will generally happily watch english films. I have also noticed Phils are generally very good mimics, Phills realtives whose english is like my tagalog once they start singing can do a varity of english and us accents and read the words as the come up on the video screen at a rate i can barely do once i have had a few sm's.
My Wife now has a posh english accent, a london street english accent and a phill english accent for when she speaks to phills in english because i or other brits are in earshot. Im sure many of the ladies on here have the same.
