we have a mexican girl 23 years old that has been working for us for the past year. she speaks no english at all. she works 11 hours a day and is the only mexican there along with my mom and cousin. i try to converse with her to keep her from being bored but conversation is somewhat difficult. i know some spanish because i took 3 years in high school. we had some decent conversations before and i try to talk to her everyday. she only speaks when i talk to her and never talks to me. she is not a shy person. when i stand next to her it feels awkard like she is trying to avoid eye contact with me and she looks uncomfortable when im close. should i just stop trying to speak to her.

most likely she is just a little intimidated by the fact that she doesn't speak english very well. I don't think it sounds like she doesn't want to you to talk to her. Just keep talking and maybe you will even help her with her english a little and make her a little more comfortable speaking it.

Not really, but you should try to make it clear to her that you are just friends. If you stop talking to her, she will feel bad, and even more because she cant talk to anybody else. Try talking to her but encourage her to learn English, so that she wont feel left out.

If she is working 11 hours a day, she probably does not have much time to talk. Additionally, if you are getting vibes that she is uncomfortable with talking to you, it is probably because she IS uncomfortable talking to you.

What is wrong with everyone that anwsered before me? Of course you should stop talking to her. I am a shy person , but if someone is speaking to me, and I don't mind, it shows in my body language. Body language is considerably more powerful than verbalized expressions. If she is giving off signals that say 'back off', then please by all means, back off.

you scare her, she thinks she will get into trouble if she is even close to you!maybe she has a boyfriend and is just being loyal to him, so don't try so hard she doesn't want to be talkative

You need to ask her, if she is okay with you talking to her. That is her decision.
