QUOTE(FLaKes @ Feb 1 2006, 07:33 PM) About the formal Spanish, It did bring me some problems because some people really do get offended if you dont talk to them formally. [right][snapback]225938[/snapback][/right] Well, I guess it comes along with not willing to know (or ignoring) what other people feel about life, friend. Come to think of it, life has everything to do with formality, since the moment the mother's and father's genes combine to beget a new being. Willy-nilly, everyone of us is confronted with formality. You wanna get a salary raise? You would put on a necktie to see your boss, or a girl would wear an enticing miniskirt to do the same (provided she thinks well about her legs). What's wrong with formality? It helps us a lot in simplifying existence. Formality is much shorter and more effective (and much, much less deceiving) than blah-blah or small *strumpetish" talk, right? Cheers, all |

Some of my spainish teachers gets annoying sometimes if we get the words wrong or tells us to do it over again untill we get it right. I think (my opioion) is a good way to learning a second language. Is the fact Spanish and English are the top 2 languages used in the United States. Getting a job and some of the employies are spanish. There is no way you can understand them or help them. Having a spanish class early in life, could help you in later in the life time when you do need them.

QUOTE(Albus Dumbledore @ Jan 16 2006, 08:36 PM) [snapback]221826[/snapback] In Spanish, our teacher is always getting on us because we do not conjugate stuff right, because of this damned formal stuff, usted and ustedes...why in the world do we have to learn it formally? why in the world do we need to learn a foreign language anyways? were in america we should not be obligated to speak a different language..it is those who speak the differnet language that should be obligated to speak our language.. no offfense to anyone who is of a spanish origin, or who is at least trying to learn the lannguage of the country they are in. That's the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. If you mean what you're saying then whenever you go to another country, let's say France for example, you should be obligated to learn French? I don't think so. You're not just learning another language, you're learning about another culture or civilization, another entirely different way of thinking. Besides that, colleges and businesses look highly upon students/potential employees who are bilingual. As for thinking that everyone should learn English... did you know that English is in fact the hardest language to learn? So the next time you feel the need to complain over why you need to conjugate your verbs formally or why you should even be learning the language, perhaps you should go speak with someone who is trying to learn our native language. Oh and by the way... if you met a complete stranger, would you go up to them and say "Hello Sir." or "Yo what's up?" Hay muchos personas que hablan otras idiomas y aprendiendo hablar otras idiomas es divertido. |
