Took three years of Spanish in high school and learned a little, then I moved to California and learned a lot
@Jacob you don't learn if you don't practice! Also 1000000000% of American foreign language education is learning vocabulary words and never really stringing thoughts together
Duolingo is actually a pretty decent resource to get familiar with sentence structure and vocabulary.
it's much more important to know how to make a sentence than knowing how to say "ostrich" in spanish
Yeah, exactly.
Ostricho

Imagine if the Chinese started calling us "Goy".
They have another word for it
That’s where the Mormon church sent me to serve my mandatory LDS mission
Yeah I think it's something like lao wai?
I saw a ton of Antifa and generally communist graffiti and propaganda everywhere in Greece when I was there. I did see a bit of Golden Dawn stuff as well though, but the amount of leftist references I saw was staggering.
I can't remember
