Computer Science counts as a language at the high school I’m going to, so I’m not too worried about that requirement. Granted, I’ve already taken both Spanish 1 and 2 (2 classes of the same language are required), but it helps to diversify.

@NEStalgia Naw, just unusual.

Heh, this is ironically part of my problem. I sling code at my job full-time, then try to devote what little brain power I have left on some weekends to try and learn a different code set compared to what I do at work. That often leaves little room for much other learning. That's why I've started looking at audiobooks to learn a language; that way I can just listen on repeat and give my eyes a break once in a while.

@Morpheel so you're saying no means no?

@Heavyarms55 i can handle unusual

And never forget it.

@ThanosReXXX I was a first grader, and didn’t know yet. But I just barely made contact haha.

Comp languages count now? I ended up taking Spanish 1-4 in high school and 1-3 in college. It was just fun at that point, I had great teachers that really engaged students.

Don’t forget “Donde esta tu identificacion”
I tell my Chihuahua that a lot when he starts doing something he shouldn’t.

Oh of course, they release a new iPad mini less than a year after I give up and buy the last model.

Now now, don’t worry little iPad, I won’t be replacing you so soon. I think we can wait for the next one.

You forgot about these two:

Una cerveza mas, señor

La quenta por favor

@AlohaPizzaJack Ah... the young and the restless. Or rather: the young and the idiotic...

Remember kids: even barely making contact is enough to transfer a disease or to cause a (potentially) deadly accident, so in dangerous or questionable situations, there is no such thing as barely...

Creerse la última coca-cola en el desierto
Dame pan y dime tonto

Just found those row quick

@Daloblast I think you're missing the point of teaching people 'the basics'...

@ThanosReXXX Yeah, not really going for that, the only spanish words that I actually knew were in the ones morpheel said

Orange cat : ¿No es verdad, amigo?
Tom : Si, es verdad, amigo.

Edit: Aw, snap.
I catch a cold. 😷

@ThanosReXXX When should we make that Kickstarter for your rocking chair and corn cub pipe? 😛

@ThanosReXXX I had Latin and Greek in high school as well; English, Dutch, German, French, Latin and Greek. And I've remembered only one-and-a-half of those (if you take the average of all of them )

Here you are:

I never liked Tom and Jerry as a kid. Even then I thought it was too abusive and cruel.

@ThanosReXXX cuenta*

@Octane idiota

@AlohaPizzaJack Pipe? Nah, I quit smoking a long time ago. Make it an infinite supply of Bacardi and we can start talking...

@Octane I've retained quite a few more: I'm fluent in English and Dutch, get by quite well in German and French, and I speak a little Spanish and Danish. I'm also able to read Greek and Russian, although I only understand and speak a few sentences in Greek, and mere words in Russian.

@Morpheel Ah, perdon. A menudo hago el mismo error...
(oh, and don't bite my head of if that's not perfectly written/spelled either)

And you never liked Tom & Jerry? Those cartoons were hilarious, man. No sense of humor, I tell ya...
Nowadays, it's all stupid kid cartoons like Spongebob and what not. Annoying voices and horrible jokes.
Probably an age thing, and not to popular amongst the majority, but give me the classics any day of the week over that stuff.

@ThanosReXXX Well, I can read a lot of stuff; however, that doesn't mean I understand any of it

@Octane Har, har. I can tell you, reading Russian is quite the chore. Both Russian and Greek obviously use a Cyrillic alphabet, but for some reason, I find Greek words easier to decode. Could also have to do with me being far more interested in Greek history and mythology than in the Russian counterpart of it, but I like to think that's not of too much influence...
