Suppose Thalía is at a 🇲🇽 MEX - KOR 🇰🇷 watch party with her buddy Lee Byung-hun. She says 오빠 너희 축구팀 느리다 (Bro, your team is slow)! Luckily Lee Byung-hun is prepared and chirps back: ¿Están borrachos tus futbolistas? (Are your players drunk?)

Google Translate

Here's how I'd trash talk in Spanish:

1. Set my translator to ENGLISH => SPANISH.
2. Type something fun, e.g.: Who's the short guy?
3. Tap the speaker icon to listen to the audio.
4. Practice speaking out loud!
5. Then flip ⇄ the translation around. SPANISH => ENGLISH.
6. Tap the microphone icon and try my best to trash talk in my new language.
7. Hopefully the app understands me! 🤞
