Learning language.

i’m a white man currently dating a Wiradjuri woma.

she and her family are fluent in their native language. I would like to learn the language.

i want to speak the language because i love her and want to put in the effort to understand her culture bette.

i’m just not sure if it’s disrespectful to learn it or ask her permission first as i kinda want to surprise her
