Hi,

I am facing the same problem too. But I know he is making effort in writing in English I try to keep my sentences short, and same goes for him. And at times if there are something we both dont understand, we would rather drop the subject.

I mean no point trying to elaborate and make things more complicated And ask yourself, is that sentence that important? If it doesnt, then just leave it. Its not worth the time to explain and cause misunderstanding

Hope this works.

I dont want to be rude and make your hearts break, but it seems so strange, huh? I hope you don't misunderstand me.

Two people dont understand each other... and they are bf-gf's?!...

Just i can't believe some

If he likes reading you could buy him simplified books for language learners. These books are referred as readers.

Oxford University Press has a huge collection of them and so does Longman Publishing (Penguin Readers are part of their collection as well).

They vary from 400 headwords to 3700. One can learn English only reading those books provided that you have :

1. a dictionary
2. enough number of readers according your current level
3. fun while reading them
4. the patience to check every single word in the dictionary that you don't understand

I know that this strategy works since I used it myself.

I remember it like yesterday, the day I started reading a Sherlock Holmes book. Dr Watson began was telling a story and it started as "A strange looking woman came in". It was around ten years ago and I picked my dictionary to check the word "strange". I was using my dictionary twenty times per page. It was a little above my level but I couldn't give up reading.

Don't waste your time expecting him to learn English. Learn Turkish instead. Boys are lazier than girls and always take a single step in reply your two steps in relations.
