Its kind of a 13th warrior situation
*Edit, my recent flatmates moved in not long before things got locked down in UK. We communicate in English but they kinda just all Spanish all day taaaalking a lot/watching movies. Trying to give eachother as much space as possible. Might ask for lessons later.

I like it remember. "My mother was a pure woman from a noble family. And I, at least, know who my father is, you pig-eating son of a whore!"

Only thing I remember about taking Spanish is the teacher getting ticked off for me asking "¿Cómo se dice 'how' en español?".

I'm in the exact same situation atm but with German instead xD thankfully they mostly speak English around me. Duolingo was my go to app.

Tell them: "Su madre tiene un culo mas grande de la luna." It's a respecful, traditional Catholic greeting. Trust me.

Your mother has an ass bigger than the moon.

My Spanish isn't sophisticated enough for a more eloquent insult, but it gets the job done.

Unpopular Opinion: 13th Warrior was a good movie.

The book was great too

Hell yeah it was. The book is awesome too if you get a chance.

As someone who has been on DL a year learning Portuguese, I can tell you that its very difficult to pick up on natives talking.

Im still struggeling even though i finished the three.

Look, if you get insulted often enough is a foreign language, you become fluent.

I’ve heard a lot of English speaking MLB players learn Spanish just for the trash talk lol
ArealJim
Here's the thing. I dont need to use insults or cuss words to criticize someone. Same with spanish speakers. Amazing.
OtterlyMagnificent
I'm still not fluent in Mexican, but I've been insulted in it enough to know I'm being insulted.
saywhat58
You're not fluent in what?
PeterGregory
Its not crazy. Yes Mexico speaks spanish. But lets not pretend that its whats spoken in spain. Ask any Frenchman about Quebecois.
Ssigel
We prefer to call it Castellano. To state that difference
PeterGregory
Cool beans. Definitely not general knowledge though. Much like knowing quebecois is preferred to canadian french.
saywhat58
Sure, but from my experience calling Spanish "Mexican" reeks of ignorance. I wouldn't never call American English just "American".
PeterGregory
I mean you can, but its not generally to anyone's interest to project intention onto fairly neutral sentences.
OtterlyMagnificent
Why not? We call British English British. (Although part of that is because American IS the original English...British is the alternate1/

You can thank the man for being understanding by saying "quiero tocar tus testículos"

Hahaha sure thing

Don't you mean JAJAJA ?
Chuckbungholio
It’s a trick, say “quiero CHUPAR tus testiculos” phew saved you from an awkward situation.
ImAFoxButNotReally
"Quiero chupar tus bolas" it's better in this situation.
MerkNowitzki41
Jaja
Dingmeatgroup
"Quero chupar tus huevos" also works
ImAFoxButNotReally
Dejame chuparte las pelotas?
OneShot510
That one gets away from it a bit as pelotas isnt common slang for testicles. Unless gestures or groping are done they'll just be confused

I expect you to come out of this lockdown fluent in Spanish in true 13th Warrior fashion!

But only reveal yourself when they insult your mother

Okay now that makes sense. Without that knowledge that confession bear is totally confusing...
Alittletoomuchsass
Are you in a prodominantly spanish speaking country? Are they 100% spanish speaking only?
Alittletoomuchsass
Oh my gosh I have so many questions!
Alittletoomuchsass
Also I'm very tipsy at the moment so this means everything! My apologies.
leviathan8600350
What are the questions
einthedog2
Haha not Spanish speaking country, they speak English but not their favourite thing so most of the day is Spanish conversations/music/movies
Alittletoomuchsass
Ain't nothing wrong with a novella! I've watched my fair share with subtitles of course. They have their moments!
leviathan8600350
Thats so fucking rude. I was taught growing up not to speak Spanish around non speakers. It would also benefit them to take this time
leviathan8600350
To become more fluent. Sounds like a couple of asshats moved in
Alittletoomuchsass
Have you started watching those novellas yet?
