Learn Spanish

I’m half Hispanic as well. I also look white af. BRO IF YOU LEARN SPANISH YOU WILL GO PLACES. I wonder where I would be if my mom didn’t straight up raise me white. Maybe I’d be more important in my career.. I’m gonna learn Spanish eventually tho. But yea.. I feel you. I grew up always sitting at the table where the aunties that do speak English sit with you. It’s lonely

What’s a good way to learn? The apps don’t do anything for me

If u don’t speak the language of ur own culture u will seem more disconnected. Less relatable to others in that culture.

Immersion. Spanish speaking friends, combined with those apps and self study. U won’t get anywhere with apps alone

Watching tv shows in Spanish that you already know or watching them with subtitles
