^ So you have 3 languages that you know Gabe? That's awesome! :thumbup:
It's extending my profile page tooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuch. Try to visit my profile page right now. Do you see that the social groups part is exceptionally long?
Aw man you left my FC too. ;_;

I had for long thought about English being the universal language as part of the North American imperialistic culture. But I don't see any other language better than English. It has few things that one could say "Oh, my language doesn't have that. I won't ever understand it".
I think that can be said about many languages actually. When I took Spanish I remember there were certain phrases that didn't have an English equivalent.

I do not have the obligation to be active in any social group. However, it is a real issue on my profile - it's too long.
Mine is at 239. People need to stop making groups I want to join. xD

I don't know three languages hahahaha
I only know Portuguese.
And I know more of English than Spanish. Much more, I'd say. But I guess I can read any text in Spanish.

I have a big problem with Spanish verbs.

Aw, poor Mizzle. Don't worry, I'll stay in your Fan Club :3
Same with you, Kakuna Matata ^^

About whether learning English is easy or not, I remember that it was hard for me to learn English at the start, but after a couple of years, I learned quickly.

Still, by knowing Portuguese you're able to understand a decent amount of Spanish, yes?

I had trouble conjugating those a lot.

It seems strange to me that it is easy for foreign people tolearn english when I struggled with it in school.

Spanish and Portuguese look so similar on paper but have different pronunciations. o_O

Yes, Kake Matey.

By the way, I had a Portuguese test today. I wish you could take it and see "how easy" it is =p

I wasn't claiming it was easy. :p With my limited knowledge of the Spanish language I may be able to pick up on a few things, but nowhere near enough to get a passing grade on that test.

I used to be fluent in Spanish. Now I can just hear it and understand it and read... the production is pretty much gone.

I haven't spoken in English now for a while. I only read and write. When I say anything in English, my accent bothers even me.

@Hurristat If I talk to you in Portuguese, do you think you're able to understand it?
