NOSEBLEED: Filipinas Overcome Language Barrier

Foreigners seeking to explore their options with intercultural relationships consider Filipinas to be a great option as English is often used in everyday conversations. The Philippines as compared to other Asian countries has a much larger pool of women who are fluent English speakers, which encompasses nearly every island. When foreigners initially go on solo travel in the Philippines, language less likely becomes an issue.

Will it never be an issue for an interracial relationship that needs constant communication?

While it may be true that Filipino women can speak good English, they will be more comfortable with their native language. The language most likely becomes an issue when foreign men start speaking at their normal pace and natural accent which Filipinas may find to be too fast.

The term “nosebleed” when speaking to a foreigner has been a long running joke in the Philippines as their way of telling men to slow down in a way that will not be intimidating. Sincere Filipinas who aim to create their dream romantic connections will be open to ask you to slow down so as to not get lost in translation. In return foreign men should take a hint and go with a Filipina’s pace. This way Filipinas become more comfortable and the conversation can flow better.
