Nice story! I kind of had the opposite experience traveling in South America. Whenever I started speaking bad Spanish, native Spanish speakers who English quickly changed to English. It is always nice to be able to communicate, but I felt it made me lazy as I was always ready to abandon speaking Spanish.
Hi there, fellow expat living in Queretaro since 2018👋
My husband's family is from Veracruz and Oaxaca.
Oaxaca is the type of city that is magic and honestly rewires your soul. I am enjoying your posts ❤️
Great story! As an expat in NL, locals often change over to English when I use my elementary Dutch. It’s challenging! Thanks for sharing.
