I’m an american who lives in colombia. I learned spanish here. The locals like it because I’m the only gringo they know that doesn’t speak like a mexican or a spaniard. The bad thing is all my friends are street kids basically and I learned how to talk from them and watching gangster novellas. Needless to say my slang is a bit like the OP in the meme. I’ve gotten a few colombians to laugh instead of be frustrated or mad at me for my language because I dropped a phrase that they don’t usually hear from gringos.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):
-web
-iOS
Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:
# This has been reposted here to Lemmy as part of the “Curated Tumblr Project.”
I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.
