No habla Espanol

Porque mis paginas de frienster en Espanol?

Ok...pathetic attempt. I did fail my Spanish class. The damn teacher wanted me to translate and sing Madonna's "Borderline" in Spanish to pass. Needless to say, I dropped the class and took another elective.

My friendster page, by some insane reason, is in Spanish. I can barely understand Filipino and my page is now in Spanish?? I have been navigating through the page by sheer memorization. In public, I like to pretend that I do understand Spanish and even repeat the Spanish words loudly. HAHAHAHAH!!!!

Pathetic, really.

We've come to some discussion about languages at work. Most Filipinos are bilingual. It's some sort of necessity. We speak and understand both English and Filipino. However, the fluency in them is another topic of discussion altogether.

Other pinoys speak other languages as well - regional languages that is, making them tri-lingual (if that is a word)

However, there is a line I do draw when it comes to languages.

If it is not in Filipino, English or Pangasinanse, I'd rather not bother.

I've been told Spanish was pretty easy, I guess I was misinformed?

A lot of similarities with the diction and vocabulary of Filipino, so they said.

Peace.


So they say. It's a common misconception though. Even if Filipino and Spanish have similar grammatical and sentence structures, the entire conjugation business is too confusin...

Or it could be my age....
