It was very humbling for me as a teenager to try and speak a second language and then be treated like an idiot by the native speakers. No one should feel like that!
This lady is awesome for putting herself out there, she's only gonna get better from here!

!! She speaks it beautifully! English is hard, especially when you have to learn it pretty much by yourself, I know from experience. Keep it up Miss Petris! You're doing wonderful!

That's excellent. I'm trying to learn my Spanish using Duolingo and the grammar and pronunciation are so damn hard.

Very good and donāt let anyone else tell you differently. Iāve had Hispanic partners since my 20s and Iām in my mid 50s and my Spanish is horrible. I can barely say the bad words. And greet someone. You can carry on a full conversation. Iām very proud of you. It takes a lot of effort to learn a new language as an adult.
Edited to add this - $9 for a damn coffee is crazy. I remember a whole McDonald meal for $3.50. Save your money and start making those things at home. Itās about $3000/ year if you got one of those every day you save by not getting one. If you factor in costs of buying the stuff at a Costco and making it at home with the right hardware, youāre still saving probably $2500 or close to it

Watching this gives me confidence to practice my Spanish again! I studied for 8 years and it was going to be my minor, but life took me on a different path and I switched. I have practice conversations in my head though and frequently think about asking the Spanish speakers I work with to practice but always psych out. Iām going to take an opportunity soon, her English sounded great and I admire her courage. Very inspiring

Proud of her accomplishment and continued effort.
While I don't agree with the compliance crowd, I appreciate any extra effort an individual makes to communicate with their world.
Some people need to re-learn that education doesn't end at graduation. This lady gets it...
