Holy ****. I was just sitting around playing video games and usual and I looked out the window because I heard someone yelling. Apparently the Church nearby our house, which was visible by looking out the window, was on fire and there was a ton of smoke coming out of it. I'm watching it right now out the window.

 

[blue]

Wow, that's bad, are you watching it now? D;

I used to take Chinese in 8th Grade but only cause we had to have a least one language then. I used to take French German and Spanish when I younger than 8th but after I reached 9th I stopped taking languages at school - I have such a bad memory soo.....

Chinese? At your school? I never heard of that language being taught at school. Its cool nonetheless :D

Holy crap. I hope no one was harmed D:

 

[Azure Revolver]

Yeah. It appears to have been put out now as I don't see anymore smoke coming out of it. The side of the church I could see was not on fire, but the other side was, so I couldn't see how bad it ewas other than all the smoke coming out of it.

 

[Charizard★]

That's really sad. I hope everything turns out ok.

I have been taking French for the last 7 years. I passed my DELF exam in November and I am (eagerly) awaiting my certificate.

7 years :o Thats a long time!
I've known Puerto Rican style Spanish from family members and friends, and wanted to learn the proper way to speak it so I took Spanish and I'm currently in Spanish II right now :o

 

[Charizard★]

Yes, it is. I can only hold a basic conversation, though. I know my level of fluency in French will shoot way up as I take French 20 and 30.

<~ Jealous

I was planning on going to Tokyo for my senior year or part of college, but the eq happened, and I got a letter from the University of Barcelona so I might go there :o Thats one reason why I need to learn proper Spanish :O

 

[Charizard★]

It's been hard. Verb conjugation is a *****. There are so many rules that have to be followed and there are three forms for it, then there are some that are irregular and don't follow the rules. Grrr...

Congrats for the letter to the University. It's not everyday that you can get one.

Thanks :D
I friggen hate the grammar for Spanish D:

My parents will probably make me go to a University in the US tho D:

Then you'll be completely confused by English grammar. It makes no sense compared to Spanish.

 

[Bloo]

At my school, we take Spanish. It's pretty fun to learn, and it's easy to me, because at a young age I knew French, and they are both derived from Latin, so they are very similar. I'm taking Spanish II this year, so it counts for a high school credit in middle school, which is why I have to do well or I will die D:

 

[Livewire]

Counting HS and College so far, I've had 10 semesters worth of French. XD only two more to go.

English grammar is easy to me, since its my first language :o Spanish grammar is weird :/

Spanish grammar is easy at first, but it gets harder as it gets more advanced. The basics are easy. Gender is almost always follows the rules, conjugation is usually simple for regular verbs. The past tense is hell though.

English grammar is easy too, the thing that gets most people is that they over think it. They say, "Wait, it can't be that simple. So, they must do this." Then they say the wrong thing when what they thought was wrong was correct.

The hard thing about English is spelling. :/

 

[Saryka]

I've been learning French since I was nine and it's actually gonna be my major! :) I've always found it really fun. And in Canada, it's a pretty useful skill to know both official languages. I'd really like to learn Spanish one of these days, though~

The only things that really suck about French is that conjugation is hell to learn and practice, genders can be a little confusing, and every rule has a billion exceptions. If you're good at memorizing things (exceptions), you'll do fine, but it's still quite annoying at times.

 

[Azure Revolver]

All authorities seem to have left the scene and everything is calm. I didn't go around to see what damage has been done, I'm just waiting for the evening news to learn more about it.

The only thing that I hate is pronouns such as "lo". The spelling in Spanish is easy because everything is said as it is written. The past tense isn't that bad, and sometimes you even gte verbs like "trabajaba" in the imperfect tense. :P It is so fun to say :-)

Hablabamos is my favorite Spanish verb.

I love irregularities. Therefore I love French.

If English is your first language than yeah you pick up pretty fast but for someone learning it as the second it can be difficult. English grammar is inconsistent and sometimes just plain weird. Like bologna. Or why read can be pronounced two different ways that each mean different things. Spanish on the other hand, everything is pronounced the way it's spelled and there's simple conjugations.

That is because you were learning it when you had no understanding on any language what so ever.

It is different if you already know a language and are trying to learn another, because you are use to the words, pronunciations and rules of 'Z' language.​

[Livewire]

^ It's also easier to learn a language the younger a person is, interestingly enough. Just the way the brain handles language learning processes.

 

[WriteThemWrong]

And do we really need 26 letters? "K" is useless and never says anything. When was the last time you used "X" or "Z?" How come "Y" is sometimes a vowel? We've already confused our kids by booting Pluto and Triceratops why not streamline the alphabet?
