First Lady Jill Biden was mocked and criticized on Wednesday afternoon after a botched attempt to speak Spanish. Video of her failed attempt to speak a foreign language then drew attention to a controversial-looking flag that was behind her.
Jill Biden made the remarks during an event speaking to farmworkers on the birthday of Cesar Chavez, a left-wing labor leader and activist who had a history of making bigoted remarks toward immigrants.
“It’s ‘Si se puede’ (Yes you/we can) not ‘Si se pwadueh,'” RGA Deputy Communications Director Joanna Rodriguez, who is fluent in Spanish, tweeted. “I can’t even imagine what word she was trying to say. Seriously why even try pandering if you’re going to butcher it and not practice before?!”

She speaks Italian, so she would have no problem with Spanish. Why do some politicians think that saying a few words of Spanish badly will make Hispanic voters like them? Isn’t that patronizing?

By and large that’s the case where I’m from as well. I still get nervous speaking it anyway.

RATs do the same thing with black people. Remember Hillary always doing that? AOC and Kamala have too.

Ok so I don’t speak Spanish... but isn’t the translation actually “If you can”?

If this were Melania Trump, the “press” would have been howling with laughter over her idiotic attempt to speak Spanish (by contrast, Melania speaks five languages fluently) and shrieking about the neo-Nazi imagery behind her. But its “Doctor” Jill Biden who can do no wrong in the view of these s-heads.

Overall, I took 9 years of high school and college German, along with the Gateway German classes when I was assigned to Germany at the Mannheim Law Center.
I never tried using any of it with the Germans after I said "Guten Tag" to a five-year old German boy on a bus. When he responded, assuming that I could understand and speak the language, he lost me after the first sentence.
Although I must admit that I did get pretty good with the phrase "Eine bier bitte" ...

I am consistently terrified of speaking either French or Spanish despite years of schooling in both languages, because native speakers are going to pick apart the linguistics like I would for English. If you don’t have ANY background, you better sit with someone who’s patient and honest and practice, practice, practice, because the world is always watching in some way.I very much doubt the part in bold. English speakers hear their language mangled every day and simply let it pass, and I doubt that you would launch into an impromptu English lesson or go about mocking someone’s poor pronunciation or grammar.
But I certainly agree that speakers of other languages are not so gracious, least of all the invader classes.

“Si” with an accent on the i is “yes,” while without the accent, it is “if.”
I can’t type the diacriticals.
