The one thing I hate out on the job is to give instructions and think that I'm be understood. Lot of head nodding but lot of no comprende. |
My friend had a Mexican father and a Swedish mother so he came out light skinned but hung out with the father side of the family so was fluent in Spanish.
He worked as a waiter and when the buss boys would talk s**t about him he wouldn't say anything at first... then later in the evening he would shock them by dropping some Spanish on them.
I have tried checking out CD's from the library and listening to them while I drive.
I have the "Spanish for dummies" book (not a book for conversational Spanish but just enough to travel with).
I was born in Los Angeles.
Best luck I have had had was having two coworkers coach me... but they no longer work here.
But still no hablo espanol.
