    In the US we take like four to six years of Spanish and walk away with “donde estas la biblioteca” and “donde esta el baño.”

      That’s because you don’t want to learn Spanish. I know English because I wanted to learn it. I practiced it daily and got pretty decent at it.

      I also took 4 years of German. I hardly remember any of it. Because I wasn’t interested in learning any. It was just something I had to do.

      i just remember “dios mio no es beno” from that 70’s show. i probably spelled that incorrectly.

      although i cheated… i took 2 years of spanish in jr. high, and didn’t learn shit. so i took my native language in hs and college. got an a- in college.
