Question:
Asalaam Alaikum Mawlana,
My problem is I have been having a difficult time living in a French speaking country. I have tried to learn the language, but have had a hard time. My husband speaks the language, as it is his first language. And my children are attending French school, as it is the law of this country. I have a very, very hard time with helping them with their homework. I am SO depressed here. I just wish to go back to the U.S. Though, there is no thought in ever moving to the U.S. because my husband has a steady job here. I just would like to know what can I do?? I am so sad…and lonely being in a place where I can’t even really communicate with anyone. Please tell me what you would advise.
Thank very much,

wa `alaykum salam,
Be patient. Try to learn the language – go to school, watch T.V. and listen to the radio. Fill your time with learning. Age does not stop you from learning.
