What Language Do You Take, Or Know?

[Dakini]

Spanish is very complicated with á,é,í,ó,ú and ñ, yeah spinsh is complicated. My russian teacher born inn a little town near of Moscow, and she comes to Argentina when the URSS come over, and now 20 years later, there are many words that she doesn't know.

The accents aren't really what make Spanish hard. The accents just fall on stressed syllables when the stress isn't on the second last syllable of a word. The n with a tilde makes a different sound than the n without the tilde too. Spanish is actually relatively simple compared to English, at least in Spanish the letters make the same sounds all the time.

English is a pretty complicated language. If it's your first language, you might not realize it, but think about how many different sounds different letters can make, think about how many of the verbs are irregular...

And at UW one if my dorm-mates spoke Cantonese. I don't know what it means but anyway, it is:

doo lay lomo HAI

Are there any Cantonese speakers in da hizee?

'Diu le lo mo' essentially means 'go fuck your mother' - they actually have a high-end design store here called Delay No More, very trendy

My native language is English. I know some Spanish. I attempted to take Russian in College but i change my mind because i knew it would take forever for me to learn how to right the letters. I want to learn Finnish, but im off again, on again with it and dont know much more than a few basic words.
