Spanish: How useful and difficult is it?

[Thorgal]

hiede? No se esta palabra.

¿Lo ves? Significa apesta. "stink"
En realidad se te entiende bastante bien.

Don't you know that there are only two languages in the universe: English and that language our servants speak, spanish?

I don't know what you are talking about. My servant speaks French... of course she's one of those hot French maids .

[Bosh]

Spanish: it's useful if you like to order burritos, but it's harder than ****.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You have to get another burrito place then .

[monkspider]

But I thought I was helping the local capitalist economy by ordering burritos from my local burrito vender?

Imran, a closet socialist? Treachery!

I thought I was helping the local capitalist economy by ordering burritos from my local burrito vender?

Bah, you help the capitalist economy by buying anywhere . There is no local capitalist economy, it's an internationalist creed .

"Hiede" comes from "heder" verb. The infinitive form "heder" should be in your dictionary.

Verbs conjugation and personal forms are a little bit complicated in spanish.
But i think that in general, spanish is not too difficult.

I won't post in Spanish but that's only because last time I did Ming said he'd ban me if I did it again. To anwser the question Spanish isn't that hard to learn especially if you've had an classes on another latin based language in the past. I'd taken French in Junior High then Spanish in College so Spanish seemed pretty natural.

My big problem is even here in southern California I don't use Spanish much so my vocabulary keeps getting smaller as I forget words. As Gepap and others can testify my spelling isn't always so hot either which is strange since Spanish is such a phentic language. Normally everything is spelled exactly how it sounds.

[Al B. Sure!]

phentic

I suppose phenotic isn't a phenotic word so I'll ignore your mis-spelling...

So I dropped an O. I blame it on the merlot.
