I love hearing so much foreign languages spoken from both native and non native speakers on this show. Since I’m learning spanish it’s good to hear the different accents and speaking speeds and stuff.
Couldn’t enjoy Daniele and yohan scenes because of the amount they literally seem to hate each other so I just fast fwd thru their scenes.
With Ashley and Clayton tho I think I get a good sense of their personalities when they speak in their non native language and they both come across really clearly and I can make out a lot of what they’re saying.
It’s refreshing anyway to see this more on this season.
I was going to say it is SO refreshing to see these 2 learn their partners language. And they’re both very impressive with it! It always just kind of irked me when there’s couples who have been together years and don’t even make a half ass effort to try to learn even the bare minimum.
I give both of them credit for learning their partners’ languages. Both seem really kind regardless of their existing situations like “closet mom…” I liked how he brought her horse back riding and whiskey tasting and at least invited her to do fun things when she arrived.
Another one I gotta give credit to unfortunately is the creepy Mormon who learned Russian for his Russian wife. Steven with a V. I don’t think Russian is a very easy language to learn, and I’m pretty sure he also got some sort of defense contract job due to his Russian.
I also always wonder if Kobe knows Mandarin, due to the fact he was living in China.
I was reading on a post one day, people were saying that Ashley speaks it very well. Much like a local. Unlike Danielle.
I love Ashley saying ¿que es tu problema?! with so much sass during the phone fight lol
AT LEAST they can speak same language
Also shoutout to Igor for trying his best as well
Too bad both partners are garbage.
Ashley’s Spanish is super primitive and grating to listen to considering that she actually stayed in a latam country, but not nearly as bad as Danielle. Could just be from the way she speaks in general tho lol. Clayton impressed me though with the accent (I laughed when he tried to explain his way around ‘montar caballo’ – very relatable as a Spanish learner)
“Ashley’s Spanish is super primitive and grating to listen to considering that she actually stayed in a latam country, but not nearly as bad as Danielle.”
Totally agree. It’s painful to listen to them.
I agree! I’m so envious!
Clayton’s verb conjugations are impressive! Compared to Daniele who seems to have stopped at the present tense.
Also Daniele does not even try to change her Americanized pronunciation haha and same with Ashley tbh but Ashley at least has a lot of grammar and vocab down. I can’t imagine ever dating someone even if they were fluent in English and not trying to learn their native language if anything just to make them more comfortable and familiar plus it’s fun and good for you!
I hate saying this about people learning foreign languages because I know what it takes, but Danielle’s Spanish drives me crazy 🙊
I do not speak Spanish by any stretch, but when Danielle speaks I literally understand 80% of what she says.
Yeah, making the effort is really great, I agree. But look at Pedro. His English sucks after all these years. As long as people understand you, I guess the finer points of a learned language, can wait till later (after the drama subsides, if ever. Lol).
Universal language of love …… a forearm.
It is super sweet they made the effort, however, still to this day some of my favourite scenes on the show are when google translators were used 😂
I’ll waste that money again!
All I hear now when I see Ashley is, “OTRA VEZ!!!”
I heard her say “mi vida” ten times.
For me it’s “YO TENGO INTERNET”
Yes
HOLA SUEGRA !!! HOLA !!!
Lol. All I hear when I see her is “Mi vida”.
As a native Spanish speaker, I low-key cringe for the way Manuel dumbs down his Spanish.
I do too, it’s like what some English speaking partners do with the non-English speaking person, almost speaking to them as if they’re stupid or something, but the opposite way
Why does Clayton’s girl act like she doesn’t know English She spoke it very well a few times and then pretends she can only speak Spanish lmao
Good point. Maybe she doesn’t like her accent. Either way, I thought it was weird when they were at the whiskey tasting, and he was translating for her. She wouldn’t look at the sister either she was just talking to Clayton who would translate it for her facing his mom and sister, it was weird
Clayton especially! He’s been one of the best partners to learn Spanish I think I’ve heard on this show ever!
