"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

With the influx of the COVID-19 patients, we've had more and more patients come in who only speak Spanish. I can understand and speak very basic Spanish, but I cannot keep up a conversation. Google Translate helps a little bit, but it's not sanitary for us since patients can have the virus or something else and when they speak or touch, it can jump on to the device. We've started to use UV cleaning for the devices, but I still need to learn Spanish stat. Any suggestions?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

memrise taught me some Russian a few years ago. They prompt you to repeat after their recorded words. I think they spell out words phonetically too. I should use it to learn some Tagalog before going to my new social circle(s). Rosetta and Hello talk look interesting too.

There are some good apps you can use to talk with Spanish speakers/learners and practice it together. I've been doing it with Russian and Icelandic and it's been working pretty well so far. Plus, in this quarentine, it's also a good opportunity to meet new people, have a good time, and, why not, get things spicy?
The app I've been using is Tandem, and it's the best one in the this matter for me so far. But you can also try Speaky.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'm not sure how advanced you are outside of vocabulary but I found DuoLingo app to be helpful. Just another option and it's free.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

watch spanish news or interest channels on youtube as you learn, there is no substitute for listening to the language being used.

Shall I presume that you learned Russian & Tagalog to chase women in Russia and the Philippines? :D

Spend some time in a Mexican prison. Fluency guaranteed.
This reminds of the 80s horny teenage sex comedy "Losin' It" when one of the horny teens got thrown into the Tijuana jail, and a big muchacho yelled out to him, "hey gringo ...".

About Tandem and Speaky, a lot of time wasters on there that use this as a chat app. You will be bombarded with messages all day long since ur a native english speaker.

Most will try to get you to teach them english for free.

I don't recommend it
