Los Angeles really makes me wish I knew Spanish :(
I can sense, but not access, an alt reality bubbling just under the surface.

Especially since I'm frequently mistaken for hispanic. In the liminal space between the take and the double take, which can last minutes, I sort of manage to fake-participate in that world.

What, concretely, would you do differently? I know Spanish, but even in LA I almost never use it.

I didn't feel that in LA. Have strongly felt that in Miami.
Even in Houston, knowing Spanish is a strong advantage on many fronts - culinary, finding help amongst others.

Might be a function of neighborhood. I live downtown where the hispanic vibe is strong.

You’re correct! Spanish has already served me well here. Feel free to use mine whenever you need it.

Maybe you can be my immersive Spanish conversation partner.
