subject: Latin Girl Dating Tips: Tip #1 A Little Language Goes A Long Way [print this page] Although this article is geared towards latin women, that includes Brazilian women, this particular tip is useful for interactions with any foreign women you may meet locally or overseas.
The main point of this article is to show you how you can use your lack of knowledge of her language to your advantage. If you neither of you can speak in a common language then this tip is not useful. Most likely the common language both of you will speak is English.
This particular tip is especially useful if your dealing with a Latina at home where you both speak English or if your interacting with a Latin women abroad who knows English. Since you'll both be communicating effectively in English, you can use little snippets of her language whether it be Spanish or Portuguese (or any other language for other foreign women), to make the interaction more fun, and to have an extra topic of conversation to rely on.
Fluency in the language is not necessary. In fact some of the basic vocabulary you've picked up on the main stream media will due just fine. Even a "yo quiero taco bell," can get a laugh as long as you can deliver the message in light hearted manner so she doesn't think you're making fun of her Latin roots. In fact you probably know some common phrases already, like: "gracias", "como estas?", and "estas muy bonita" (you are really cute). I bet you knew or have heard at least two out of those three phrases. You probably know at least five if you really think about it.
The point is to make your use of her language fun and lite hearted, but at the same time you must be interested in it, and willing to learn more, particularly from her. Most latina women will find your knowledge of her language very endearing. They may asked you where you learned that? Or compliment you on your knowledge of her language, even though it may be very little. You might get a chuckle because you pronounce something wrong or because you mixed words up.
In many cases you can use your lack of knowledge of her language as an excuse to make her your language teacher. This can be a good reason to exchange phone numbers and contact information and an even better reason to setup another date.
Your lack of language fluency can also come in handy when you find yourself in those awkward moments when neither of you have something to say. A good safety net is to just think of something or look around and find something that you don't know how to say in her language and ask her how you say that in her language. Many Latin women will appreciate the fact that your taking time to learn her language and culture.
This tip applies to Latinas but it can also apply to other foreign women you may meet either locally or abroad. As long as you can communicate in another language with the foreign girl (most likely English), you can use your lack of knowledge of her native or second language as useful conversational tool.
