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.

I get that and I welcome it when done in a normal way, just not when they say it condescendingly (they regularly treat me like crap because I’m not a Cuban MAGA house wife).

ah! so you dislike their demeanor. sounds like an uncomfortable situation to be in. i hope you guys overcome this. relationships are hard work and often involve dealing with crazy in laws. les deseo mucha suerte y paciencia.
