I stumbled across this whilst googling for advice. I've just started seeing a Cuban. I'm British. We speak French together - a language in which we both have a reasonably good standard but isn't our mother tongue. This obviously creates problems but at least has the advantage of neither of us being the "weaker" part of the relationship. I do find communication difficult though. He is loud and frank and doesn't understand the way British people tiptoe around each other. I worry that he sometimes annoys my friends without meaning to by butting in or being too honest. I also find that he talks a lot about his achievements which is unforgiveable in British culture! It is all very tricky indeed but fascinating at the same time. Thanks for your help. Hello
