Not only did the mom speak several wholesome lines in Spanish but she also aced it with a great accent and the internet was impressed.
Introducing a boyfriend to the family becomes a delightful chaos for many women. Nervous laughter, curious exchanges of looks, and untold pressure to make a good impression make the whole situation an awkward one. But it surely turns into a memorable one after a few years and recently a woman reminisced about one such first meeting between her family and her boyfriend. Lynéa Lang, from Miami, often makes amusing content with her boyfriend Jorge Pérez on their TikTok handle @lyneaandjorge. Earlier this October, Lang's video of her mom greeting Pérez for the first time went viral for the most heartening reasons.
In the video, Lang's mom can be seen struggling a bit to get ahold of her Spanish. She then slowly begins showering Pérez with welcoming words in Spanish. "It's so nice to finally meet you. I'm excited to have you stay with us. Please make yourself comfortable," the nervous mom said. As Pérez patiently nodded and listened to her, she continued, "You are part of our family. You've made Lynéa so happy and that makes me so happy. Thank you." The boyfriend was absolutely touched by the effort Lang's mom put into making him feel included in the family and he hugged her.
Turns out, Pérez had just arrived from Spain to meet his girlfriend and her family and Lang's mom had learned the lines to give him the best welcome possible. "It was important to her because I come from a family where no one speaks Spanish, and she wanted to go out of her comfort zone to learn it for him to show him that she really cares," Lang explained to Newsweek. Calling her mom her "best friend" Lang was so proud that she always had her back. Pérez on the other hand, gradually developed a beautiful relationship with Lang's family and even now, Lang's mom tries to use Spanish when speaking with him. "To this day, every time a holiday or birthday comes around, and my mom sends us a card, she writes it in Spanish—with the help of Google Translate, of course!" Lang added.
The old video clip of Pérez's first meeting with Lang's mom went viral after it's been posted and it received over 3.3 million views in a week. "I think you already do, but you must truly appreciate how great a mom you have! This is a huge gesture," said @ba_sure. "Wow! What a beautiful gesture. Your mom taking the time to learn Spanish, this is such a sweet moment. I wish you the best!" mentioned @yeseniaxortiz. "Wow! I’m impressed with her accent! Well done mamma," lauded @sebaspuentesm.

Looks like moms go above and beyond to make their first interaction with their daughters' boyfriends the best one. Kaitlyn Olesinski, who goes by @kaitlynolesinski on TikTok, introduced her boyfriend to her mom and something hilarious followed. With Olesinski, her boyfriend and her mom sitting on a lakeside, the mom began playing traditional tunes on her clarinet to entertain the couple. Not sure what to say, the boyfriend was holding back his laughter until he eventually gave up and chuckled at this amusingly awkward moment.
