Inflectional morphemes! Romance languages just like to put the tense into the word. We do it with copulas and stuff.

Inflection is probably the hardest thing about Spanish, but once you know how to do it I'm sure you can get used to it. Everything else seems to be relatively easy.

At this point I don't even know if you're saying actual words.

It's okay. just close your eyes and it will all be over soon enough

You said you studied 'spanish' in school. Did you learn 'spanish' or 'mexican' ?

[NorthernChaosGod]

Mexican Spanish. o_O

[Mirage]

Yeah, english.

I have to speak 2 languages. I like neither. I wish I could speak Japanese though.

I speak Finnish and Swedish in my daily life (Finland has two official languages, after all, and I happen to live in an area which has quite a big Fenno-Swedish population so you hear the two languages often). I use English online, in university classes and with exchange students, tourists and the occasional foreign customers at work.

[Mercen-X]

I don't know Spanish and, after years of classes and study, I think I never shall.

I also took a Japanese course in college and own an audio... but am no closer to understanding a single thing I hear or read in Japanese. Also Cantonese, Tagalog (because of my mom because of her mom), and German (because of my dad... because of my dad), and I'm trying to learn French because I have a French cousin... whom I only recently got into contact with.

Title reminded me of my trivia team, the Cunning Stunts.

Lol... Blushing Crow.

I'm also creating my own language. I'll let you know how that turns out. In 202020.

I started making my own language once. It got absurdly far (as in, I had most of the grammar and conjugations and stuff written out and was well on my way into making up an entire dictionary) before deciding that I didn't want to make a language for the book I was writing after all. Said book ended up getting completely revamped, so it's all good.

I speak some odd American Midwestern language where "crayon" is pronounced "cran", milk is "melk" and double t's in words are disregarded in pronunciation.

But really, I don't need to speak any other language than English where I live. I speak a little Spanish, but there's hardly a considerable Spanish speaking community here that I would need to communicate with.

EDIT: I almost forgot, in one point in my life, I learned Hawaiian because I used to live in Hawaii. But I was so little that any Hawaiian is long gone from my mind. Hawaiian Pidgin is also important to learn, and something that sticks with you for a while, even if it is a dialect and not a language.

Wait, that's not how crayon is supposed to be pronounced?

Also, the double tt thing (if you are referring to "kitten", "mitten", etc.) is common throughout the language. It has a special name; I learned it in a linguistics class. I feel smart.

Nope. Some snobby West Coaster told me it's supposed to be "cuh-ray-on." Like how some people pronounce "Koran." Because smurf "cran."

And I've never heard anyone but Midwesterners not pronounce the double t, so I figured that was just our thing. And what would that word be, Mr Smartypartypants?

[Madame Adequate]

Funny enough it has a double t in it, it's called a glottal stop.
