This is one of the odd things, and I wonder if it's based on reality.
Certainly, if I were running the programme, they'd be speaking US English from day one of being accepted onto it. Apart from learning other accents or and another foreign language or two, they'd be speaking nothing but US English. Certainly not Russian or any one of the Soviet Union's other languages. If they do so, even if unexpectedly shouted at in Russian or a sentence in the middle of a conversation, warn them once and kick them off the course for a second offence.
Similarly, once a couple have been selected, they'd be paired up from that point.
How long are they supposed to have been married for?
