If you live in the U.S.and don’t already speak Spanish, simply learning to speak some, even just a bit, is now an anti-fascist act.

"i am very embarrassed" -> "estoy muy embarazada"

The two most important things to say in any language:
- Thank you. Gracias.
- Where is the bathroom? Donde esta el baño? -

También, ¿Dónde está la biblioteca?
Which is a phrase I use in every city I go to, because public libraries are awesome.

@heidilifeldman of course it is. Anything is anti government now, even breathing for some people

Yo sabe un poco Espanol
(emphasis on poco while holding up hand to display thumb and forefinger almost but not quite touching, and what little that is now mostly exhausted...) -
@heidilifeldman Would Portuguese do?
@grumpydad @heidilifeldman sure, but if learning another language is too much, maybe settle for using the traditional English spellings.

In my younger days, I spent time travelling round Europe, and before I left the UK, I I made sure I could speak at least the basics in pretty much every European language.
Lets just say that I knew enough French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Greek, Polish, and Russian to get pissed no matter where I was!
It's amazing how much better service is when you make the bare minimum effort!
Now, I would have to add phrases like "Fuck Donald Trump! ", "Fuck ICE!", and "Fuck Nazis!" -

@heidilifeldman excellent idea!! Buy a subscription to duolingo or some other tutorial service....and start speaking it when out shopping, working, etc....simple things, good morning, thank you, etc....oh, can just see maga heads start exploding when everyone, from white to black, start speaking Spanish!!!!

Now, I would have to add phrases like "Fuck Donald Trump! ", "Fuck ICE!", and "Fuck Nazis!"@stuartb @Perrin42 @benroyce @heidilifeldman
" I would have to add phrases like "Fuck Donald Trump! ", "Fuck ICE!", and "Fuck Nazis!"For Italian, just substitute fuck with Vaffanculo or Fanculo.
The first form is supposedly more offensive because one spend all the time to say the entire word.
The second one is faster, more colloquial. Let say that the first one is best used during a protest, the second one to insult directly. -

I don't know if Duolingo will get me there, but I'm trying. -

@grumpydad Portuguese sounds similar, but is very diferent. "Embaraçada" means feeling something like embaraced. In Spanish means that You are pregnant.

@benroyce @heidilifeldman And here I am again wasting my English with a Brazilian.... Happens ALL The time... Kkkkkk

A la puta mierda Donald Trump!
A la puta mierda ICE!
A la puta mierda los nazis!Or
Que se joda Donald Trump!
Que se joda el ICE!
Que se jodan los nazis!You can be a little bit more polite with the second version, but both are adequate.
