  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

  8. Tim: Don't try to speak Swedish if you come here... I promise you... I'd react better to English than someone speaking really weird, hard to understand Swedish. The Swedish have better English skills than the Spanish though... Sometimes Spanish skills are a necessity there.
  9. I can get by on the standard phrases in Spanish, but I couldn't possibly put together sentences like all of you 'foreigners' put together on here. Credit where credit is due

    Thank much you, Tim English friend.
  11. Learned that Skrillex song on guitar. Pretty sweet.
  12. I cannot stand Skrillex.

    I have probably said that before, but I'll put it out there again.
