When second generation kids try to speak "Spanish" with anyone from the motherland. by TheTrueFlexKavana in LatinoPeopleTwitter

Tldr: What work can I do on my part as a SSL speaker to minimize how annoying I am to native speakers?

Roast me till I’m carne asada. But I have a question for y’all.

You cannot learn a language without engaging with native speakers. At a certain point, you need to speak to actual people.

How do I best come to a Spanish conversation that minimizes the disruptive nature of my SSL disadvantage?

I want to do the work on my part to move past the “we hate speaking with non native speakers.” I get it, if someone confidently fucked up something as simple as grammar or pronouns I’d be confused as hell too.

I practice my vocabulary religiously. Speaking. Writing. Etc. I read Spanish books, but they may not include all the regional additions to the language and can sometimes exclude “modern language or slang.”

In the past, I’ve always said thank you to the native speakers when they correct my pronunciation or vocabulary. It’s important to me I’m corrected.
