I work at a place where most people speak Spanish, and I want to be able to hold conversations with them. I’ve watched a couple of YouTube videos, but I haven’t been able to retain the information. I need to write down flashcards and notes. I’m wondering, and I don’t mind if it’s proprietary, what is the best and fastest way to learn Spanish?

    Do the girl at your work speaks a little english too? If it’s 100% translate yeah, you can’t keep it, but my take on a latina girlfriend (as someone that was married to a latino mam) is not only her but the whole family.

    (in my own experience, yours could be different of course) They are very loud and talkative which can be good when trying to learn. Also the families tend to be closer, emotionally and physically so you live the language and make friends (god knows how much I miss them and their food) but their biggest pro is that they don’t give a fuck. If you are tying to learn they will help you, even when you don’t want them to LOL

    Having a latino girlfriend is like living the language no matter where you are in the world.

    Just prepare to be fat coz abuela won’t take no mas as an answer! lol

    Edit: also where do you work that have so many spanish people? spain?

      I work at a laundry place that has atleast over 50+ Spanish women. It’s 90% women and 10% men, I am literally in heaven everyday here.

      Thank you for the advice.

        Lol! I bet you have some tias and abuelas there. Tell them some day “I would love to learn spanish”. Being “adopted” by the spanish is cheaper than any of the other options
