Judged for not speaking it fluently by other Latinos. Anyone else feel the same way? 😞

Yes - exactly the same way. Both parents from SA but wasn’t forced to speak it except to family that still lived there.

Are you interested in learning?

I’m constantly learning. It’s been a passion. Lived it Latam and Spain for months at a time as an adult specifically to improve. When I lived in those places I sounded semi fluent but it’s been years since speaking it every day and my Spanish isn’t what it once was

I honestly think that for first generation Americans people understand if you don't speak well. I think it's about the effort more than the actual speaking. Usually people are just happy to find another Latino around. That's my experience anyways!

I am so jealous that you are semi fluent! I am dating a Latino and learning Spanish and it’s so hard. His parents only speak Spanish so we will see how I will be judged lol.

Also I am Asian and I found Asian Americans that try hard to speak their Asian languages really cute. Don’t think we judge them.
