Customer Reviews

A perfect example of bicultural marriage and family life

This is a great read for anyone who desires to travel, learn about cultures, or is in a relationship outside of their culture. Even if it's just Kansas born and raised versus New York, that's still a cultural difference in a way. I think the author perfectly captures the beauty and challenges of learning a language and culture, and trying to bridge two very different families via Google Translate. I laughed, I cried, I loved it!

Awful!

I wish I could give this book zero stars....it has nothing to do with love in a second language. The author mainly complains about having to learn another language while living abroad with her husband and how hard it is for her. She makes living abroad seem like a sad, disappointing and daunting task and not worth doing. Do not recommend!
