    Rarely have to speak Mandarin, but when I do need to it's usually because I'm talking to my mother or I'm in Chinatown. And even in Chinatown I try to avoid speaking it because my accent must be disgraceful.

    I need to learn more Japanese. I am such a weeaboo. -_-;

    An increasing amount of Spanish is popping up in Southern California. Not as a translation under the English, either, but entire bill boards just in Spanish. Fortunately, I speak pretty good Spanglish. As in, "Well, that word looks like especial, and that means special, so that sign probably means there's a sale. Yay!"

    Because Spanish class sucks and the verbs are stupid.

    Spanish verbs aren't stupid. English verbs are just extremely impoverished.

    I just need to know English. That's it. I live in New Jersey. Don't need other languages really around here.

    What a terribly uncouth thing to think, HC! I am absolutely sure that no one else on this forum made that connection and that our dear innocent Justy would never start a thread title with that intent!

    I'm not entirely sure how to defend this, but I support it!

    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.
