Exchange student from Spain lives down the hall?
Exchange student from Spain lives down the hall?
There's this cute Spanish exchange student who lives down the hall from me, I really want to talk to her and it would be great because I am learning Spanish right now and I'm actually getting pretty good at it. Simple question really, what's the best way to approach?

Just get up the courage to ask her to talk in Spanish with you, and once you are, then try letting her know that you like her, and see where it goes... You don't even need to ask her in Spanish! Just go for it.

Ok befriend her in English because I'm sure she speaks it well maybe even better than you. Just don't ask this question because you just want to screw her. Anyways the best way is to befriend ask her about herself, life in Spain compared to life where you are. Don't come on too strong or she'll think its just a north american trying to hit on her and get turned off. Be confident but not desperate.

Like they said, what you think you're learning is probably very different from what she knows. Remember there are three dialects of Spanish in Spain, and about 100000 in Latin America. I agree definitely with one person... I speak Spanish professionally now, but it was a second language. You will not learn it overnight, and you may never be great at it. My nerves get to me when I start -- I could write it all day, but speaking is different. If you stammer through what you're trying to say, you will make her feel uncomfortable. So, if you can muster up the courage to be fast and just not care if you make a mistake (she, if she's a good person, will know you're trying, and it's the effort that counts, then give it a shot. You know, introduce yourself in English, and then ask her if she would mind speaking with you in Spanish so that you can practice... cuz you really like the language. Because knowing two languages opens up the world to a new way of thinking. You can't really know much of what there is to know and understand in only one language. She'll know this cuz she knows more than one. If I were you bud, I'd ask her if she's ever been to Ibiza. Of course she might pronounce that z as a soft -th sound... ee-BEE-tha. say it however you feel comfortable. you might ask her how does she feel about the way people in latin america speak Spanish -- SPAIN --> SPANISH lol. Ask her does she say sección as sek-see-ON or seth-thee-ON? Good luck!
