    Exams are usually easier to judge afterwards, though what you think isn't necessarily what occurs.

    Exactly, nail on the head. Exams are easier to judge - that's why obtaining high marks is harder for people who doesn't study enough (that includes me) xD

  2. Fuck, I only had to say that for you to log off hahaha dam you!!
  3. I have Spanish homework that I don't feel like doing...
  4. We were never offered Spanish. Shame. Though French and German are pretty good. Forgotten most in my old age however.
  5. I done German and had some old bag of a teacher, which made me hate it. At the time, our year could only do French or German, but we were assigned which one we done. Now the lower years can additionally do Spanish. I wish I was able to do that, I would've probably preferred it.

    Although, I did choose Standard Grade Italian, but there wasn't enough people to run the class.
  6. I just had one of those moments when you come up with a oneliner and have to write a song about it. ¡Hasta luego espanol!
  7. That's some nice thoughts about my language, Tim and Kieran... But Spanish is harder than most people think. It's one of the hardest languages to be properly learnt (I don't mean having a slight idea or something), only compared to German -excluding the languages with different characters like Russian, Arabic or Chinese of course.

    Nice to know you would have had interest on learning it, though
  8. Spanish has some easy things, and some harder stuff... The good things are that everything is pretty governed by rules, and it's pretty logical. It doesn't have that many irregularities and that stuff. Pronunciation is easy. However... there are A LOT of those rules, a lot.
  9. As long as I could go to Spain and get around, I'd be happy.

    EDIT: Though of course, fluency would be better.

    The Spanish speak like machine guns... they're veeeery hard to understand
  11. I agree, though if you're lucky, you get some that understand you're a tourist and they're very helpful by either speaking slower or speaking English, which you shouldn't expect of someone in their home country.
  12. Yes, coming to Spain -unless you go to the more touristic-oriented zones of Madrid and Barcelona- isn't the best option to learn/practice Spanish It's like going to a lost village near Galway to practice English--you're fucked up.
