#lil mini teeny tiny vent bc there’s obviously more pressing shit in the world#but i HATE how I wasn’t formally taught Spanish 😭#like i Can understand it perfectly and read it just fine#but when it comes to speaking and writing? I just don’t know the rules and it SUCKS#like when I’m talking u can excuse some of the shit I say by ‘slang’ and general vernacular right?#but It’s not slang to me that’s what I genuinely think it is bc that’s how I grew up hearing it and was never taught otherwise#like for example if u grew up calling ducks duckies#and u spoke to someone who’s never heard the word duckie#u can bridge the gap by saying “oh that’s how I say duck’#BECAUSE U KNOW WHAT THE REAL WORD IS! U WERE TAUGHT WHAT A DUCKIE IS KNOWN AS BY MOST OTHER PPL!#I don’t have that gap and I HATE IT#and the spanish i grew up speaking is a combo of formal and assimilated Spanish#so like for the longest time I thought lunch was Lonche#and i NEVER learned about almuerzo till my cousins did 💀💀💀#so if I’m having a convo with someone outside my family and I say that shit I’m automatically classified as a no sabo#AND THEYRE RIGHT#it’s not even that deep but it still bothers me#like a LOT#and i don’t blame my parents at all or anyting im just sad#like i wanna find good resources to learn Spanish but i want to learn DOMINICAN Spanish#MY Spanish#I know it sounds dramatic but it’s whatever#oh and you know what SUCKS#there are words in English I don’t know either bc we only ever said them in Spanish in my house and there was never any reason to learn them#and sometimes the two OVERLAP#so it’ll be a word in Spanish my family uses as slang for the official term#and It’s also a word I’ve never heard in English#so I genuinely have to pull up a picture and show ppl what the hell im talking about#in EITHER LANGUAGE#guess who just learned how to say panini maker 😝😝😝
