I need to learn Spanish
So i was just at a Dollar General store waiting in line and there was a Spanish couple in front of me, well the lady was asking the cashier what kind of shampoo she should get for her poofy hair and the husband was shopping for fireworks, the clerk kept trying to get them to pay and I was becoming irritated. So I was puffing, and put my stuff on the counter and asked if she would pay and she could get back in line to get her other stuff. Well the husband comes up and they start speaking Spanish and i could tell they were speaking about me, and i heard her say “Gringo” I was almost sure that is was derogatory term, but i did not say any thing. So i get back home and look it up, this is what Wikipedia says it is “Gringo is a slang Spanish and Portuguese word used in Spanish-speaking and Portuguese countries, principally in Latin America, to denote foreigners”, She was calling ME a FOREIGNER, here in the USA, using Spanish no less. Seems something is just not right about this. So if anyone knows an easy way to learn Spanish i would like to know.
