Can you speak a foreign language?

[GBJ]

Napster was making largely the same point as me I think.

TBH I think you and Rigsby both made valid points.

Of course you need to understand the grammatical side of things, but then as Napster & Rigsby both eluded to in separate posts, the primary objective (or emphasis) should be on general communication, and I see it as more important when speaking to someone, that they get the gist of what I’m on about, rather than whether I’m being grammatically correct....

..... at least, to begin with. That side of it will come in time.

I am seriously confused. I thought I had logged into Shrimper Zone but reading the last few posts I must have made a mistake.

Sometimes it’s good to throw yourself into the deep end. I went to see Malaga play twice last season, and both times I booked tickets on their website - their Spanish only, website.

After a bit of guesswork, and a bit of luck I successfully done it, and downloaded eTickets to my phone. I wont lie, on the approach to the turnstiles, I had a few things crossed, hoping I hadn’t ****ed it up.

Moral of the story is, until you throw yourself in, you’ll never know if you can do it or not.

I’m not sure who that is, but it looks like Freddy Mercury had a baby with Sascha Baron Cohen

Don't tell me you're too young for the "excellent" sitcom Allo Allo.

Only one logical thing left to do now, rename the place to Zona De Camarones

si, muy bien!

My ex had lived in Spain for 18 years, she was fluent, and when we got together her little girl was very young, we spoke Spanish at home Tuesdays and Thursdays, No English at all in the house, Was very good, I learned a fair amount and can hold somewhat of a conversation, her little girl grew up Spanglish, she can go between the both and I still have a somewhat relationship now with her daughter and the use of both language is only going to help her in life and open up opportunities, it has convinced me to persevere and continue to learn the language.

Other than the usual stuff from German, French and Spanish the only language I am quite good with is Pashto. Doesn’t come in much use these days though.

Muchos gracias señor.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record - or a record batido, if you will - it’s not just the opportunities it opens for you, but it’s the brain training aspect of it, that I love.

Considering it’s free aswell, I don’t think you can go far wrong.

I can’t describe the annoyance of losing a streak though.

The best I’ve ever had was up into the 40’s.

Put it this way, I actually considered doing a bit of Duolingo, around 3:30ish on Saturday.
