  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  5. Learned that Skrillex song on guitar. Pretty sweet.
  6. I cannot stand Skrillex.

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

    Virtually every people from any country in the 1st world will have better English skills than we the Spanish
  8. You probably have better English skills than the English have Spanish.

  9. Hmmm I doubt that... I think that most Anglo-Saxon people and/or some of their friends and relatives have travelled to Mallorca, Ibiza or Canary Islands at least once, and knows some or a lot of Spanish words, idioms, basic conversation formulae, etc... But I suspect that the rate of Spanish people who have travelled to any English-speaking country is much lower. Nah, seriously, we as a whole suck at foreign languages. Even our Prime Ministers don't speak it
  10. Don't you have compulsory English lessons like we have French?

  11. Yes, but they've only been mandatory for the last... 20 (?) years, maybe. So people older than 28 or 30 years haven't had to neccesarely study English (I actually lol-ed at my wording in this sentence).
  12. Necessarily.

    I would guess foreign languages haven't been compulsory here for that long. At least we grow up in a multi-lingual education system now. We just have to choose to pay attention.
