Anyone who’s ever tried to pick up a new skill knows the fastest way to actually get better is to just keep doing it. For Stamp Fairtex, that’s exactly how her English went from beginner-level mumbling to full-on conversations, thanks in large part to her fiancé, Anthony Duong.
Speaking with the South China Morning Post in a candid interview, she made sure to credit the love of her life for her most improved English skills:
"I talk with my fiancé like every day," she said. "I talk like English all the time, but sometimes I don't understand what [some words] mean."
The two spend nearly all their time together, which means English practice is now part of Stamp’s daily routine. And while she thinks her vocabulary could still use some work, we all know that it can only get better as she gets more comfortable.

"It’s still hard. But it’s funny, when I speak English with my coaches or my friends, because I have a lot of foreigner friends, I can also gossip."
