I learned some as a kid, forgot it all, was in classes as a teenager but they kept reviewing the same shit over and over again and I didnât learn much
My mom doesnât know Spanish because she grew up deaf so she didnât learn it at home from grandparents & and only learned English in school, she tried to learn as an adult but uh. Not. Very. Successful. She tried to make a call in Spanish once and got hung up on

Yeah she was legally deaf as a child. Iâm not sure exactly what it was that went away or was cured but sheâs hearing now

Because of it she doesnât always pronounce words correctly - there are certain vowels she canât tell the difference between - and sometimes I accidentally inherit those pronunciations

good to hear. i bet it feels bittersweet for her. on one hand - happy to be able to hear. on the other - have to listen to May all day. maybe sometimes she wished she was deaf

As you can imagine, lack of distinction between vowels is not great for learning a language
