Just got passed up on a promotion because I don't speak Spanish

Miami is a nice city but you're correct. If you want to get paid, sometimes you have to pack your bags like vacations.

I love this shyt women weather weed night life but my career comes first plus I have no kids nothing holding me here

 

[ROFL_GUY]

I can have a small conversation in Spanish but they want fluent

sorry for your situtation breh.. trust me i was in your shoes once. and its literally the most frustrating ting of ll time..

spanish is the easiest language to learn tho. and once you get that down you pretty much can speak italian too..

 

[mcellas]

Well, I see what you are saying. There's an expectation for a student applying for an English-speaking college to speak English. It's possible that English is their secondary language and it may be a deal breaker if the student does not have a Spanish-speaking "whatever job that you didn't get" representative.

Good luck in the future. Don't let it get to you. If it helps any, sometimes it is worth being a suck-up/brown noser if it helps your career path.

Yeah I heard that shyt hard for me to do I have to learn how to be a c00n

That shyt happens here too. We have two official first languages...and I only speak English, not French...so it's an advantage to speak both. Blah. Whatevs.

French was the first language I ever wanted to learn but I was really young and there isn't a large French-speaking contingency in the US... If I lived in Canada, I would most likely speak French and not Spanish... That's f**ked up though..

I thought it was a requirement if you lived in Miami? Like you can't go about a normal day without knowing at least a bit of spanish.

I would assume the same things for Quebec and places like that.

Conversational Spanish is one of the easier languages to pick up. I'd recommend you learn it in your free time.

I just need to go to a country and immerse myself and I'll be fully fluent. I can read and speak pretty well, writing is another issue....

SMH, and its not a little bit of Spanish, they want you to be a damn Spanish professor with the pronunciation and all. In an English speaking country. Why can America encourage people to speak a little bit of English for everyone? That's like me moving to Japan and not learning a lick of Japanese.

In America. This ain't Cuba or Puerto Rico. It's still America and still a part of the American tax system.

 

[Lewis Black]

[Poitier]

Everyone should know English in America but adding another language to the arsenal never a bad thing
