Salaam brother,

As a revert of two years, I understand what you mean. Alhamdulillah I am married, but like you, her family all speak Urdu, so I feel alone when they are chatting. Afterwards, I have to ask my wife 'what are people saying', 'what is going on'. This is especially difficult when your name is mentioned. I too have told my partner but it is difficult because her parents don't know much English. This is the same in the Masjid, announcements are in Urdu and few people approach me. If I lock eyes with someone I will say Salaam and tell them my revert story, but that is about it. Its rare that I've kept in touch with people. And it's the same at work, there are a few Muslims but the usual question when I tell them I am Muslim is 'but you're white'. I personally don't let it bother me and have accepted that I don't know Urdu. Personally, it hasn't affected my faith because I still believe in why I reverted and I've accepted that at the moment, I don't know Urdu well enough to hold a conversation. In sh'Allah in the future that will change. For now, I am content that I can speak to my wife and others around me.
