This is a continuation of my adventure series. the language in question: spanish.

Oh yeah. Okay, I got Hola and the numbers down. Okay, no biggie. More words. Now, I am supposed to try to do these? Okay, I forgot what that means already. Wait, more words? Wait, genders? wtf. noun-adjective agreements and conjectives? Slow down. What the hell. start over. i didn't ask for more words. Now you are giving me an assignment? What the hell. I already forgot half the words and most of the rules. Great, an F is already confirmed.

You mean, this is a continuation of your "threads about how I'm too slow for my classes today" series? Are you threatening to make this a habit?

You are deluded, you crazy German supporter.

And the main reason for this post is to tell you what I wanted to do in another threat already: You get awarded some goody points for your sig. God, my all-time favorite ballad.

Ha! I've been taking Spanish for 8 years and I love it. It's not the hardest language. Last year I started to study Arabic which is much worse then spanish!

Ha! He estudiado espanol para ocho anos y me encanta. No es la idioma mas dificil. El ano pasado yo empieze estudiar Arabe. Es mucho mas dificil que espanol.



Sorry for any mistakes and my ignorance as to how to turn on accents.

"My Spanish Adventure" part 2.

Now I'm exploring the seasons.:eek: By the name of spoon, how did they come up with these words? No biggie. Wait, I have to translate entire Spanish sentences? crapola. I had a much easier time learning Japanese and I only know three words: Konichiwa(hello), Sayanara(bye), and Nintendo(something about heaven or god. I don't remember). Oh god. Oh no.:eek: crazy verb time. How many god damn ways do I have to know how to spell eash god damn word? Wait. That doesn't make any god damn sense. You'd figure that first-year Spanish would be easy for someone with a 140 iq. how can they speak this crap? God damn it.

If you're going to let the language overwhelm you, then you can forget about learning anything. There is only one way to deal with new languages, and that is beating them into your brain until they stick. Either go somewhere where they only speak Spanish and live there until you understand just what they are saying, or get off nationstates and start readin'.

Quit whining already and study.

You know 1.5 Japanese words. Konichiwa does indeed mean hello (1 word), Nintendou does have something to do with heaven - loosly "leave luck to heavan" (.5 word), but "sayanara" isn't a Japanese word.

Or find a Spanish Nationstates.

Your guess is as good as mine.

@OP: You might as well give up learning Spanish now if you have such an attitude. Alternatively, change your attitude.
