Honestly, it can be frustrating sometimes in the work setting. They're trying to tell me something and I don't understand a word of it. I tried to learn Spanish back in high school. I took Spanish 1-3, passed the classes and the regents exams, but came out learning nothing. I even tried to learn after high school ended, but had no success. I'm not really made of money to attempt to learn again and going online/picking up a book for self teaching this sort of stuff never got me anywhere, so I have no idea what I'm going to do. I sort of feel like I fell behind somehow because BOTH my parents are Hispanic and speak fluent Spanish, but never bothered to teach me. Not sure if any of this makes sense.
I'm also Hispanic, but I think Spanish is highly overrated. I don't like speaking it and hearing it. Most of the fluent speakers don't sound educated, nor is the language audibally aesthetic. If I could I would give you my fluency for another, like German or Polish.
How do you feel about people who dont speak english?
