Hmm I don’t feel like I know enough but a good amount of these women have complimented me on my Spanish and I’m starting to think I know more than “a little bit of Spanish”. I know a good amount of words and even if I don’t know the exact word I can usually describe the word they figure it out. I would say you need to know select words and know the basic conjugations for them. Masajes =massages, tu =you. Hacer =to do, the congugation when talking to someone specifically about them is to add -es. So if I want to ask “you do massages?” It becomes “tu haces masajes?”. Either this sounds really complicated or really basic but that is how I go about it. I look up verbs and words I would want to say and keep them in mind. And if I didn’t know how to ask or say something, I look it up so I know it for following time. Also, it’s important to ask them how they’re doing, where are they from, where do they live, etc. It might seem overkill, but basically you want to establish a friendly rapport. And you should be able to answer the questions about yourself because if you ask where theyre from, they’ll in turn ask where youre from. These are relatively easy things to remember. I also don’t ask them these questions to trick them into thinking I’m friendly. I genuinely am interested in the answers and almost 90% of the Spanish women I have met have been very sweet and friendly. Kindness goes a long way. Sometimes they know a little or decent amount of English and you can communicate a little better by using both languages. It’s not hard to learn the words and remember the verbs. Its a little hard to remember how to congugate, but bad grammar is definitely not the deal breaker. Not speaking Spanish sometimes is.
