I was told by a Malyali man that their language was very difficult. It is similiar to Tamil .

Im sure your boyfriend would appreciate it if you showed that you are interested in learning Spanish and Im sure he would be more than happy to help. You can get books on Amazon on learning Spanish. Fluenz and Mango software are cheaper than Rosetta Stone.
