It doesn’t matter if the guys family speaks English. If you don’t know how to speak Urdu/Punjabi then you’ll have a problem.

Speaking as someone who is definitely not desi and I don’t even know Urdu… except for a few words here and there. If I was in a rishta situation with my partner I would skip it. It’s waaaayyyyyyy too difficult. You don’t know how isolating it is to be left out of the conversation completely while everyone is laughing etc.

At the end of the day… I wouldn’t too different. doesn’t matter what the initial stage is. It’ll be much, much harder later on with family etc.

But if you are willing to change and learn to become more desi then I don’t see a problem.

Yeah, I had thought about this. His family speaks urdu at home, and I barely know the colors in urdu. I am willing to learn Urdu, it is something I have wanted to learn for a while.
