I know, but the point is I have to, because otherwise it doesn't make any sense. I mean, I'd quote myself and then say: which ignorant bastard said this? :D

So who disagrees with me on this one? I mean, someone gave me negative rep once again. I'm not like that kosta guy and I don't care about the rep. But what I do care about is the argument. Spanish, simply put, is a poor man's language. Unless of course you are planning to travel an odd 500...

I can read Spanish and people tell me I should be able to understand spoken Spanish, but I sure as hell can't. Might have to do with the fact I'm simply not used to hearing Spanish though.

If it's economics you're on about, why choose a poor man's language anyway? Pick German or French, they're a hell of a lot better than Spanish.

Well.. no. It's very easy to do a German accent. It's very easy to speak English and sound like an American. Even Spanish is possible. But Italians, dear god, they just sing the entire fucking time. And that's tough to learn.

People always tell me Spanish is even easier.

That's all true, but sounding like an actual Italian is very difficult because of the pace.

When I was 7 or 8 years old I guess. But what I notice in a lot of countries is that they dub television. In Belgium they use subtitles, which is a lot better IMO because that way you're learning the foreign language, whether you like it or not.

Yeah. What I found that helps is trying to think in a language all the time. When I wanted to improve my English I kept on thinking about how I'd say things in English. Now I do the same with Italian.

If you're serious you have to study every day.
