Singer Michael Buble says he speaks to his wife in Spanish when they argue so he can pretend to be romantic in front of people.

The 37-year-old Canadian and his Argentinean wife Luisana didn't speak each other's language when they met but said it helps him hide embarrassing public arguments, reported Contactmusic.

"Two languages are very handy. When we fight in front of my friends I'll smile and say to her something in Spanish. My friends will say, 'Aww, that's so cute'. But in reality, I'm telling Lu that she's being bad," Buble said.

Although the singer might think he's learning enough to get by, he said his wife isn't quite as impressed with his progress.
 

"Lu and I didn't share a language when we first met. She didn't speak much English, and I didn't speak much Spanish. But I've been learning it and I'm getting pretty good - although Lu says I still sound like a caveman," he added.
