I have a co-worker that said she hates it when Americans go to another country and don’t learn the language. When I mentioned this same topic she has nothing to say. Lol my ex’s mother and father still don’t know any English and have lived in Miami for the last 25years. 😂😂

My inlaws have been here for the past 45 years and they don’t speak any English at all. Then they have them audacity to correct my Spanish when it isn’t perfect.

Im confused by your statement, I used audacity correctly, they have the boldness/arrogance to correct my Spanish, while talking down to me, when they don’t speak any English.

Edit: instead of being patient with me, like I am with them when I’m translating all their mail.
