My area has had shifting demographics for some time, and I am now in the awkward-for-everyone position of managing a number of employees who don't speak English at all. I'm trying to pick up a conversational level of Spanish so I can speak to my employees effectively (currently, we are using an app to communicate). In your opinion, is it better to jump in and use my embarrassingly bad Spanish to try and communicate with my co-workers right now, or should I try to attain a degree of fluency first and rely on the app until I am less clueless?
(This may not be a question you can answer, but you said to ask you anything and this has actually been a concern of mine for a couple of weeks, so why not ask I guess?)
If I can ask two questions, what do you think of the situation at the US border? Back in my factory days, I knew a migrant worker who felt that the Southwest should belong to Mexico anyway, so he felt pretty justified in coming to the US to live, even though it's illegal. I have no idea if that's a common opinion.
