Tambien, he hablado sobre mi clase de español antes, yo creo. Si necesitas ayuda con la tranducción, no ten miedo de preguntarme. I'm a freshman in Spanish 1. I barely understood every other word! I need more practice. 5 minutes ago, StrikerEZ said: Really? I feel like it's the opposite, because there's more rules than exceptions (at least compared to English).

Well, Spanish and Italian are more closely related than Spanish and English, so they have more perfect and near-perfect cognates. I like my Spanish teacher; he teaches me things about English as he teaches Spanish! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therein lies the difference: I'm American. English is my first language, and I know that it's hard to learn. It was hard for me to learn, when I was younger. English is a ridiculously nuanced and finicky language. For example, the word "see" has 22 different definitions if you look it up on Google.

Nashan’Elin Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I just got out of my AP Government test, and I'm at the DMV to get my license now! Aside from the whole "wait at the DMV" thing, it's a pretty awesome day. And I got out of school for the test, so that's always fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djarskublar Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 As for the language discussion, I would say that there are languages far harder to learn than Spanish. I took some Spanish in school, and the only hard part about it is remembering how things are gendered. I couldn't talk with anyone, but I can read words off a page, just not understand it. English is frankly more difficult. I have been edging into Japanese lately so I can watch raw anime, and that is a true nightmare. The spoken language isn't bad at all, but the writing is, well, ridiculous. They have a phonetic set of characters, Hirogana. They have their standard character set, Kanji. And then they have a bunch of special characters for foreign words, Katakana. Each individual kanji character can have anywhere from 1 to 10+ meanings, and you have to context clue into which one is right. They sometimes have a character, and then clarify which meaning to read with Hirogana. It's really nasty. On the other hand, you only need to know a couple thousand characters, so it is doable. @Silverblade5, that' awesome. I wish I had more say in what music I played during school. I saw Def Leppard a couple years ago, and that was pretty great. It was a fairly big concert tho, so no chance of talking after. They play really well though. It was almost album quality across the board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jondesu Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Japanese is tough, but it's far simpler than Chinese, which doesn't even have a native alphabet. I know some Japanese, and yeah, I'll never learn most of the kanji probably, but it's actually simpler than some of the other Asian languages by quite a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
