You've learned some bad Spanish that makes you sound like a toddler. Here are some better phrases to say in Spanish instead.
Do you say things in Spanish like...?
No bueno
Mi casa es su casa
No problema
If that sounds like you, no judgment here. I used to do the same.
Here's a quick tip for you: Instead of saying "No bueno" when you don't like something or don't agree with it, say this... 1. No está bien.
Ex: you ate something too salty. "No está bien, porque está demasiado salado." 2. No es bueno.
Ex: you don't think your coworker is great because they gossip too much. "No es buen@ porque es bien chismos@." 3. No estoy de acuerdo.
Ex: You don't agree with a new rule your HOA made. "No estoy de acuerdo con la nueva regla."
Bam! You now sound like a native Spanish speaker.
