I met women who spoke English well and some that did not. My wife
spoke no English at the time that I began corresponding with her.
Six
months later when I visited her, she spoke very limited English that she had
learned in evening classes. We were able to communicate fairly well with each
other using her limited English, my even more limited Russian, a Russian-English
electronic translator , and sign language.
If you have ever played the
game Charades, then you will excel in communicating with a woman with limited
English. If you have never played this game, I suggest it as a way to develop
your sign language skills.
For difficult words that you cannot use sign
language for, the electronic translator is indispensable. It is a little too
cumbersome to use for every word, but it is ideal in trying to translate a word
that describes a concept or an idea.
By the time my wife came to America
nine months after we met, she was speaking English more or less fluently. One
and a half years later, she graduated from all the advanced ESL (English as
Second Language) classes at the local junior college.
She continues to
think that her English is not as good as it ought to be. That is more of a
self-confidence issue for her, than a statement of her abilities. Let me tell
you, she has no problem holding her own in an argument in English.
There
are two sides to this issue,

the one hand, it is easier to communicate with a woman who speaks English than
one who does not. Theoretically, you can find out more about her in an easier
way.
Of course, that assumes that men and women can communicate with each
other even when they are speaking the same language. John Gray, the author of
??men are from Mars, Women are from Venus,?? made a small fortune writing books
about the difference between how men and women communicate, even when they speak
the same language.
She will learn English soon enough when she gets to
America. My personal feeling is that it is better to choose a woman based on her
qualities as a person than on her ability to speak English,

out what her personal qualities are when you have difficulty communicating with
her?
Students at local universities who are studying English can be hired
relatively inexpensively to translate for you. The marriage agencies in the
cities that you visit can also provide a translator. I have found that if you
ask direct questions, you will get direct answers ?C in any language.
I
would focus on asking the right questions, using translation services,
electronic translators and any other tools available to you.
Language
does not have to be the barrier that you may think it is.
Also, the women
who speak fluent English usually are from the big cities and have much higher
expectations than other women you are likely to meet,

alone, I would recommend a woman who does not speak English rather than one who
does.
Younger women, that have attended the university since the fall of
the Soviet Union, are more likely to learn English there than older women who
attended university during the Soviet era,

My experience was
that even the ones who spoke perfect English were on their best behavior. After
I spent some time with them, I had little problem finding out about their
motives, interests,

moods, et cetera, whether they spoke English or not.
Don??t worry about
whether they can speak English. They will learn to speak English soon enough.
Spend time with them and find out what they are really like. See how well you
get along with her. It is better to observe her behavior than it is to listen to
her words.
I have a philosophy about this: I believe what someone tells
me, until it conflicts with their actions. At that point, I trust their actions
to speak more truthfully about them than their
words.
