"I'm not really that good yet but I'm learning. Mother had known my plans of coming here with you using her, you know… So, she began teaching me…".

"[What is he saying, Jenny…?]" Her aunt had the asked her, taking her attention from me. I smiled then told her, "[My mother knows the language… She is teaching me… I'm still learning…]".

"[Oh… Your mother must be very smart then… Our dialect's kind of hard to learn… You must be so too.]" Her aunt then shook my hand, "[I'm glad my niece married a smart man, not to mention so handsome too.]".

"Auntie…" Jenny said shyly. However, I also felt a slight hostility from her uncle. "[Well, I have my doubts… Way too 'pretty' for a man, if you ask me.]" I then saw him briefly glanced at me by the side.
