Dear Pastor,

I really need your advice and help. I am a Jamaican woman who is 26 years old. I have one child. Since lately, my husband and I have been arguing a lot. I have been living in Europe for the past four years, and I am learning a new language but it gets difficult for me sometimes because I am not so fast.

My husband curses me and bothers me to speak his language. It is getting so annoying because I try and I do my best, but I always forget and start speaking Patios. He hates it, but the strange thing is, I talk to my son most time in his language. I feel like running away sometimes. I have a part-time job. My dream is to learn the language of my husband's country and go to college.

Dear Slow Learner,

Continue to study hard. You will eventually learn the language that is spoken in the country where you live. Your husband should exercise patience with you. He is eager to see you make progress. Take time to pray and ask God to help you. You will do well. Don't give up.

Pastor
