Does your family mind that you spend all your time learning useless languages and talking to fifteen year olds on the internet instead of, like, having a job.

I hope you're aware that you're making fun of a mentally retarded child.

Did you forget some of your English in the process?

German is better to learn. Spanish countries are to swine flu, chagas disease, and intestinal parasites what African countries are to AIDS.

Latin American Spanish is just as Spanish as Spain Spanish.

My question: why does your Spanish still suck?

@87,554 (F)
Yes, it kind of is.

@previous (Lynne B. Goldstein)
Why does your French still suck even though it took you ten years to get a French degree?

Because they're different enough that if you live in the Americas, learning European Spanish can cause communication issues. Even Latin Americans sometimes have misunderstandings because of different dialects. It depends on where you're trying to do business.

I went to Spain once. I didn't speak Spanish.

Not really. It was awkward but I managed to have what could vaguely be called a conversation with a Spanish guy on a bike.

So you talked with another human being? How did it feel?

Terribly awkward. I know only a few words. He said something about his house and pointed to it. Also asked where I was staying and how long I'd be there.
He mentioned his house a lot.

¿La casa?

Yes. It took a minute to figure out that casa meant house.

He probably wanted to introduce you to his family. And you blew him off like the culturally ignorant American that you are. Give yourself a hand.

Don't let it discourage you at first, getting through the first lessons is the hardest, but if you stick to it, it's smooth sailing.
