Guest tekniQz Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I dated a guy for about a year whos family only spoke spanish. My best advice is smile, be friendly and try your best to communicate via spanglish or sign language, lol. They can't be upset with you for not speaking spanish. My ex's family loved me and we were hardly able to talk to each other, lol. Ya i know a little bit of Spanish(and i mean a little,pretty much whats on the Taco Bell menu)j/k.So that might be my saving grace so to spaek but im worried that i will botch a word or 2 and just sound stupid y'know.I dont want that.Cus im not stupid.But do u guys know what i mean by that??Like y'know how if you get someone who doesnt speak English you kinda think of them as slow.Not like a true stupid person but yknow what i mean,im not saying it in a negative way.Its probably a stupid way of thinking but i think everyone does it to some degree.

Well, I'm impressed that you even have thought about this that much but maybe even a bit too much.. Regardless, they will know some English and then you use your lil' bit of Spanish and the rest is all manners. If you plan on being with this girl for the long run, learning Spanish is going to be better since it will be easier to learn cause of her helping you. Just gave my bf the Spanish/English dictionary I wasn't using and he was having a ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya i always tend to think too far into things,thats me in a nutshell.Thats a good one about the Spanish dictionary.I think im going to go by Barnes and Nobles on the way home.I was actually thinking about that. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frankthetank Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Don't get the barron's visual reference guide. A lot of the phrases and words are incorrect. Although some of the pages are quite comical. Close but not right according to my Colombian friends.Just curious, where is she from or where are her parents from?make sure you tell her mother..."Este cena fue maravillosa" your girlfriend..."Te Amo"and her father "Tu hija es maravillosa en cama" ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Barbarino Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Post a pic of the chick..I wouldn't go, your problems are not relegated to this meeting but all future meetings, it's gonna suck now and suck even worse later on. This was a problem in my last relationship, the girl was da bomb (miss her) but her family didn't speak english and I knew they would judge me because of that, so I refused to meet them.

Guest frankthetank Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Yah I was just joking about the phrase about the father. In english it stated "Your daughter is wonderful in bed" ;DThe other two are legit. (to your girlfriend and mother)And by the way I am as gringo and English speaking as they come. Just happened to pick up spanish over the years especially a lot in the last year from two trips to Colombia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Barbarino Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 tek if you learn one word of spanish, you are sell out pussy whipped fucking loser. Be a man, tell these fucking Taco Bell drive thru employees to learn fucking English!Also tell your chick this: There are two types of girls, those who like it up the ass and those who don't know yet they are going to love it up the ass. Set the tone with this slut bag, if you don't you will be "that guy" forever, the guy who spends his weekends learning Spanish and watching Telemundo. UBER LAME!

Even if things don't go well with this girl in the long run your learning spanish. If you love latin chicks like I do, opens more doors. ;DLATINAS take care of their men much better than most American women. (unless they have been Americanized) The two most important spanish words...necesito = I NEEDQuiero = I WANT ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They try their best to make a good impression on the family and they actually go out of their way to learn Spanish even and yes its true and in the end they end up watching Univision and Telemundo.Its weird but when a white guy gets with a latin girl they are so whooped that they end up being the butt of jokes for the rest of the family. Basically the do-boy of the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
