I have being trying to find steady work for years in the restaurant business and they require to speak spanish. Or, they will single me out and fail to communicate what I have done wrong (real or percieved). They won't even give me a chance. I feel like I am the foreignor and they have more rights than citizens. I am growing tired and at my wit's end.
I am considering moving to Puerto Rico in the future. I have visited there twice, loved it, and i had no problems communicating with the locals, as most of them seemed bilingual. I know some basic Spanish such as, "Como Estas?" "Muchos Gracias" "Por Favor" etc. But is speaking Spanish fluently a requirement to get hired at a job? I have experience in the restaurant business as a chef and my "kitchen spanish" is decent. I was planning on taking Spanish classes to become more fluent once i moved there. Any info would be helpful.
