When i first started speaking to the Wife i couldn't belive how bad her english sounded after seeing her im so quickly.

Spoken English my wife still has problems with some accents and im sure many Phills on here do. Just as we might understand some phills speaking Tagalog but others would have us due to slang and accents.
Look how many yanks cant understand brits.

So like aposhark is doing asking her to email is the best i always found when the wife and I had communcation issues it was best to write letters or emails just to ensure no misunderstandings.
