I know how to ask where the library is. That’s about it.
If there are any Chileans there I’ve got a joke you can tell them.
You: ¿Te gusta cerveza? (Do you like beer. Change beer to anything really)
Them (probably): Si, me gusta. (Yeah I like it)
You: ¿Y el pico? (And the penis?)
This is generally considered the height of Chilean humour, and never fails to get uproarious laughter, especially if delivered by a gringo.
I think they’re all Salvadorans
Hmmm. I wouldn’t risk it
¿Te gustan los frijoles?
Si, me gustan
Si, jajaja, siiii
You could fill an entire state with white people who only remember the word “biblioteca” from their years of HS Spanish.
It’s a really fun word to say
Donde esta la biblioteca? Tu tocar mi pompes. Yo voy al biblioteca.
I actually remembered a bit more, but learning Chinese seemingly pushed the Spanish out of my head. Whenever I try to remember things to say half the words are replaced with the Chinese words instead. My high school Spanish teacher was a German woman who had lived in Argentina for a few years. I don’t think she was the best teacher, but she was really funny and made class interesting.
education system sucks. history class moved on from memorizing names and dates, good chemistry teachers didn’t make you memorize the periodic table just for the sake of it, but my language classes were still just “memorize all this contextless information fuck you”.
You: “¿vosotros sois hispanoamericanos?”
Them: “si”
You: “bueno. ¡Salud!”
then you start drinking heavily. Usually works for me. It’s a great conversation starter.
vosotros?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
¿Donde esta el baño?
Should come in handy.
Learn some new swears.
I too would like some books I cannot read
Perdoname, mi español es un poquito flojo
I say this all the time around family
