I often wish as a kid I realized I was interested in /int/ things and took language classes in high school. But instead I just never thought about it and carried on what I thought was my destined path of being a programmer. So now I'm in computer engineering and I like it but in another life I'm someone else

I feel your pain

No need too, Pepe. They understand us. We don't because portuguese=too slavic, french=too fucked up pronunciation, italian=too dialectal and romanian=too unknown.

But spanish=romance lingua franca.

>>75417969

you really should, that way you could understand the polish waiters talking to each other when they say that they are spitting on your beer.

I've been "studying" Spanish (by which I mean forced to take classes) for around 10 years,
and I still don't understand your language.

I can't understand a word of Romanian or Portuguese either.

>>75417749
I've never heard it, but I imagine a Spaniard speaking French would sound comical.

>Bon whore, heh m'appellay Alejandro,

>>75424847
Ceci c'est parce que tu est un retard, mon ami.

I mean I've just learned french for a couple of months and I can still understand texts and formulate ugly but understandable sentences as you can see.
