ohhhh trust me the world is a pretty fucking stupid place 

I am aware of this.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Spanish.

 

Seriously, f*** Spanish.

 

Who even cares about Spanish.

 

Probably a lot of Spanish speaking people; but not me!

 

I take partial offense to that. <Part-Spanish ancestry>

 

I at least find the language interessing, considering English has more to do with German and Dutch than French, Spanish, or Italian.

I didn't mean to offend, I was just expressing how frustrated at the fact that I dislike learning that particular subject.

What I don't unserstand is the hate towards Spanish; if there's a language to hate, it's English.

I wonder if you'll have to take it again in high school...

fuck that 

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

Fair enough, but it isn't the language I'd personally pick to learn if I had a choice.

I don't think Punicpunch would make a very good Element of Magic. 

 

Not the magical Elements! The sciency Elements!

hated how second language was required to pass high school

 

 

Except my teacher said that if we don't learn Spanish it'll cause World War III...

 

.___.

 

Wtf, teacher?

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

Yes, my brother took it so I will have to.

.___.

Something about isolationism or something.

I have a complex love-hate relationship with English; too many words for one abstraction, and not enough words in another.

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

Is it the stereotypes?

I feel like it's the stereotypes.

[1111 1,284]

how about learn the freeking language you move to

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Except my teacher said that if we don't learn Spanish it'll cause World War III...

That's because it will. By the way, I totally agree that you don't need to learn Spanish if you don't want to.

[Hidey 2,836]

making popular shows loaded with offensive stereotypes probably doesn't help

I'm drawing a blank, could you name a few?

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

 

Here's a trope: why this bridge?

simpsons, family guy, south park

ENOUGH WITH THE BASHING OF OTHER LANGUAGES! Just because you don't enjoy learning one DOESN'T MEAN to go ahead and hate on it! There are HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of people who speake the language you are trying to learn, be it Japanese, French, Spanich, Dutch, ANYTHING. I'm syre that people insulting your native tounge would piss you off to no extent, so I say stop bashing other languages.

I only agree with this partly. You really should get to know the part of the language you're going to use commonly.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

simpsons, family guy, south park

Simpsons satirizes stereotypes, it doesn't enforce them. I'm fairly certain South Park is the same.

Going to bed now, goodnight!

I agree.

we actually were talking about how we hated learning it not we hate it and went off a little on how we hate how we are expected to learn it for other people

Stormgiggle, did you see my explination of why i use no pet na,es.

You have a pet name for Haven, don't you?

I'm really not convinced of that, like at all. It's easy to say that in defense of it, but I think it's hard to deny many people find stereotypes very funny, despite how offensive they may be to others.

I'm sorry, but spanish just sucks. There's no way around it.
