How have you been treated by native Spanish speakers?
After reading a response from an old thread, I thought I would open a new one as the original thread dealt with the way we correct members in this forum.
Reading this answer from Stormcrow made me sad and I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience when trying to communicate with natives from either Spanish or English. I can only speak from my own experience. I have been shown nothing but help and support from absolutely every native Spanish speaking person I have met.
What are your thoughts?
Here is Stormcrows answer:
A little necromancy here...
I find myself being very offended and upset with the way my girlfriend corrects my Spanish. It doesn't bother me when anyone else does it, with exception to her mother. I just wonder if it is my being sensitive or if she is actually being insensitive. rofl I write out these long phrases and all I get in return is, "I don't have any idea what you just said." That kind of hurts. Given that she is a native speaker, and I am a beginner. I would think that she would take the extra time to at least try and figure it out anyway. And, of course, after all this she's mad at me. The whole reason I started learning was so I could communicate with her family. Needless to say, they haven't done anything to help me, either. I'm learning Spanish for myself now.
