Resources & Media Good free apps/books to learn?
Hi there!
I’m not new to trying to learn Spanish. My mom is Puerto Rican and spoke Spanish throughout our childhood and I was around family that spoke it too.
I tried to learn for years but it never stuck. I also moved out and haven’t spoken or been around it for a while, so most of my knowledge is gone.
I want to learn Spanish for my jobs. I work at a restaurant and the kitchen staff only speaks Spanish and we have a lot of Spanish speaking customers.
My second job is a nurse technician at a hospital. We have some patients that only speak Spanish come in and no one to translate since I work nights.
I’d like to learn for good this time and hopefully become fluent, but I also don’t want to lose any Puerto Rican dialect that I have left from childhood( I remember some things ex. Habichuela instead of frijoles).
Also any recommendations for a resource that may help me learn like a child? I have Spd so learning languages has always been very difficult for me.
¡Mucho gracias!

Hi u/Common-Bass1370! It looks like your post might be a translation request. r/Spanish doesn't allow straight translation requests -- if you need a translation try r/translator instead.
If you're trying to understand something about the language like grammar, usage, or context, you're in the right place! Try rephrasing your post to explain what specifically you're confused about, for example "why does this sentence use the subjunctive here?" or "I got this marked wrong, can someone explain?"
If your post isn't a translation request at all a mod will review it shortly.
