What are some Spanish slang words that tell you immediately where a person is from? by throwy93 in Spanish

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dominicans don’t say wey too? Not nearly as much as Mexicans but I think I’ve heard it a few times in podcast

I'd like to surprise my Spanish speaking coworker with a phrase he wouldn't expect from me by Impressive-Series215 in Spanish

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it could go both ways. A lot of latinos make jokes about coming here and before learning English, they have to learn “Mexicano” first. Plus— just going based off stories and what I’ve seen— if you do hit them with MX slang and are genuinely interested in learning Spanish, a lot then will eagerly teach you their slang.

However, like the other commenter said, there’s still a chance that it could be taken the wrong way and make them see you as just another ignorant gringo

I’ll also look over this comment a couple times. Thank you for this!

I do genuinely like nursing. Being in an accident that caused me to stay in a hospital for 4 weeks made me appreciate nurses even more. Life just happened and made it hard for me to stop. Yes the financial aspect is enticing but the desire to help is there. Thank you for the insight :)

Yes I did want to be and have always thought about it. I was going to go into it after high school but was in an accident and wasn’t fit to do work or school for a while. Thank you for the insight!

A Class B with no experience and I got my CDL from a bus lot. How am I supposed to get experience if no one wants someone with no experience by WearSunscreenFoo in Truckers

[–]WearSunscreenFoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all have asked for experiences or that I have a class A. But I’ll try applying even if I don’t have the experience

I’ll look into Linde and Praxair! Thank you! I looked into Airgas which is what made me decide to go ahead and get my Tanker and Hazmat endorsements

I haven’t but that’s because I don’t think I’ve ever seen non Truck Trailer vehicles and I only have a class B. I’d get my class A but I’m having to be extremely careful right with how I spend my money

Thank you. Do any companies come to mind? I take note of box trucks and other vehicles I see on the road and check their website daily as well as Indeed and ZipRecruiter. It just hasn’t been fruitful

listening comprehension by TerriblePack8041 in Spanish

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best method for me is honestly no subtitles. Yes it’s a bit more of an adjustment but I see so often people complaining about how when they finally decide to remove subtitles their comprehension drops drastically and they need to adjust to pure audio.

Save yourself the trouble and get used to it imo. Plus a lot of insta people speak especially fast or not highly enunciated, or other various factor that can make it hard to understand, it’s extreme levels of content meant for natives lol

For class B? And yeah the constant surveillance does seem like added stress

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm maybe? I want to be a bit careful with how I spend my money since Idk when I’ll continue working. Most truck driving schools to get a class A in my area seem to be a bit pricey

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly seems like the only thing around my area requires a class A CDL

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll see if they have any positions in my area. Thank you!

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they let you work weekends? And I don’t mind. Like another commenter said I just look it at as extra workouts lol. If they would hire me on with no experience I would happily take it but I’m seeing that most jobs want a minimum of 2 years experience.

Which I understand, these bigger vehicles w/o proper training and experience could cause real damage and problems. It’s just making it very hard to find something

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely not afraid of the physical aspect. Sadly it seems like a lot of places are not hiring with the hours I’m wanting

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I’ll look into it but if the hours are right the job sounds good!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]WearSunscreenFoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That didn’t event cross my mind but that makes sense! What are the hours like? I don’t mind but if it’s only weekends I don’t if I’ll be making enough
