Learning Spanish sucks!

Mainly because I’m not doing it, but also because learning new things is difficult and I like to whine!

Too many times have I said I’ll start posting regularly again and it just hasn’t happened. So I won’t promise anything until you see some results. Between you and me, I did come back to post more but every time I came back to hundreds of spam comments to moderate it was a little hard.

Because I had to click on every “teen webcam sex” link just to make sure it wasn’t a real comment. Turns out, none were, but better safe than sorry!

My dedication to learning Spanish has waned a bit over the last 7 months. I started a business that drained time, and I got an American girlfriend that stopped me needing to meet Spanish girls in bars. With my main motivation gone, what was I to do?

But the urge is creeping up on me again. I have 2 Spanish flatmates, and 2 other American flatmates that are studying Spanish far too much. This makes me feel inadequate and stirs desires of learning inside me.

Or I’m just hungry…

Since I don’t want you to go away empty handed, here’s a link to help those more motivated than me. Learn Spanish by podcast with the wonderful Ben and Marina.

That is all, class dismissed.

  3. Spanish REALLY sucks says:

    Though I probably retain information faster than what you might, I will agree: Spanish DOES suck

    Reason:
    1. My teachers teach us more the grammer, than pronouncing i with the students. All we learn is writing it.
    2. I don’t think I’ll be needing it, unless I visit a Central or South American country.
    3. Japanese is the 2nd mosted used business language, nest to English (whihch is the NUMBER ONE language. More than likely, you’ll be using Japanese more often than Spanish in business.
    4. The homework didn’t appear to help much. I was mostly just writing in Spanish.

    I hate learning by writing only… I want to be able to actually SPEAK the language after all. It’s a pity most language teaching is so useless… I personally think it holds back the world.

    However, I do think Spanish is a great language to learn. And with 300-400+ million people speaking it I’d say it has a lot of potential for business.
