Salaaaam
I only know English fluently

I am a convert so I am currently learning to read Arabic for Quran, but my parents are Spanish and Portuguse... So one side is from one side of the boarder and the other side of my family is on the opposite side of the boarder (Not literally, but where they come from)
But they didn't teach me Spanish or Portuguse

I am actually upset that they never taught me. I asked them why didn't you teach me when I was younger? They both said: "We tried too... But... You just wouldn't listen."
I can speak a bit of Spanish though but at a very basic level unfortunately.

Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq [a] said:
"For everything there is weighing and measuring except tears. One tear drop can extinguish oceans of fire. If the eyes flood with tears, the face will not suffer hardship and humiliation. When tears flow out, Allah forbids them from the Fire. And if a person weeps in a nation, such nation will receive favors."
(al-Kafi, Volume 2, hadith 3113)
