We're both asians/cantonese speakers but my parents are too busy in their work to send me off to chinese school. I speak cantonese in my home, but only simple stuff, with some bad sentences. I speak english better because I watch english shows (the oc, the hills...) more than chineses, and it's not like I can understand the chinese dramas.
So what do I do?

your bf should be understanding of this and he will be there to translate for you when you can't understand his parents and vice versa when his parents can't understand you...
but i'm sure they'll be very welcoming after all you are the person making their son happy, lol

Not in any specified order, and with various levels of fluency, Italian, French, German, Maltese, Old & Middle English, Polish and Croatian, as good as British Sign Language. But ordinarily Gibberish!

Smile a lot. And say everything is good -- their son, the food, the house, everything. That should take care of it.

You do your best and have him translate for you when it's important.
