wtf

that does really happen outside LA only inside like in deep LA

one of the things that confused me about the US was how they taught Spanish in schools despite it being settled by Brits.

is LA a literal shithole like SF?

spanish?

yeah the Spanish language.

i mean it has a lot of homeless

or I guess Mexican

I think there were subtle difference between Spanish Spanish and Mexican Spanish.

no i think u mean as a foreign language in highschool not as a language they speak

it kinda surprised me that it was being taught.
Like it's not like English is uncommon

in your highschool do they have to learn another language??

English
some schools teach French or German

the French and Germans refuse to learn anything else.

I learned neither btw

lmao well we have to learn a “foreign” language throughout highschool

does it matter what language?

honestly I would pick something more practical or obscure to learn like Mandrin.

what languages are you learning?
I'm currently working on Japanese.

they chinese, latin, spanish, and french which kinda useless i’m taking latin

I heard good stuff about Latin.
Something about it making it easier to learn other languages after learning it.

yes so latin is the starting or base language of about all european languages so it helps a ton

and also i can’t speak it which makes it much easier sense all the other languages u have to speak...

the writing system being the same aslo helps

yea

japanese dang that’s quite hard

especially for somebody from latin based language

yeah it's nothing like English or Dutch.
The sentence structure is completely different not to mention the writing systems.
At least Chinese will be easier to learn after it.

Wasnt latin different from germanic tough?

Learning a Germanic language from a Latin based language is one of the cringest things possible

English for example is easy to understand but learning to correctly speak it is cringe

I heard some stuff about Dutch being the hardest to learn

Idk about that

I did Dutch at school in Belgium and it's the easiest language I've ever learned

Got to a pre good level

Could have a normal conversation with some vocabulary restrictions

Hardest for me is German

German is pure insanity

some compound words make sense if you already know Dutch but a lot of them are pure insanity and possibly cheating at scrabble

Zuid Afrikaans is supposedly easier to learn after Dutch but it just sounds like drunk Dutch to me

funny thing is that Belgium Dutch (Flemish) is more pure than Dutch Dutch.
