Living In Latin America With Terrible Spanish

I’ve lived in Latin America for almost a year now, and honestly… my Spanish is still pretty terrible. Before moving to Peru, I spent about 5–10 hours learning Spanish on Duolingo. Since then I’ve put in another 100+ hours, but I’m still not conversational. I can ask basic questions, order food, and get through day-to-day situations, but the moment someone responds with anything beyond a simple answer, I’m usually lost. So what is life actually like living in Latin America when you can’t really speak Spanish? In this video I talk about the reality of navigating daily life without the local language, including: • Ordering food at restaurants • Grocery stores and everyday interactions • Using translation apps to solve problems • Situations where the language barrier becomes frustrating • Why not speaking Spanish is more of an annoyance than a real danger • The biggest downside: connecting with locals I also share a few real experiences I’ve had while living abroad, including a situation with a security guard while filming in a mall, and how we worked through the misunderstanding despite not speaking the same language. If you’re thinking about traveling or living in Latin America but you’re worried about not speaking Spanish, the truth is you’ll probably be fine. It might slow things down a little, but most people are patient and used to dealing with foreigners. That said, I do think it’s important to learn the local language if you’re planning to live somewhere long-term. Not only does it make your life easier, but it’s also the respectful thing to do when you’re living in someone else’s country. If you’re considering moving abroad, becoming a digital nomad, or spending time in Latin America, hopefully this video gives you a realistic look at what to expect.
