View original postLet me apologize for not replying for response to my previous post. I enjoyed reading all the responses, but when it comes down to it, at the ripe old age of 32, I'm too old to be disagreeing with people on the Internet. I'm convinced I'm right and quite intolerant of others' political views. But mostly, I don't like it when people disagree with me. I was hoping more to invite other people's stories than a debate.
View original postSo, onward! I've decided to learn a little Spanish. I've been to three Spanish-speaking countries, and while we got along fine with just English, it's a shame not to be able to say and understand some basic things. I'm also planning a massive epic trip to South America in a year or two (depending on how fast my checking account recovers from the just-been-there epic trip to China and Thailand) - this is the nssp part of the post. So I've downloaded all the free learn Spanish apps and working my way through them during my daily commute. 15 mins in the morning, 15 mins in the evening 5 days a week is sure to add up. The bonus is that I'm beginning to understand random words in song lyrics.
Are you learning "classic" Castilian Spanish or Puerto Rican Spanish or Columbian Spanish or any of the other Latin American dialects/variants?

NSSP: I'm learning Spanish!

You'll probably be fluent in about 6 months at most. It's easy.

You will need to learn the subjunctive. Very much so.

Ah, but a question isn't a statement of uncertainty. It's a request for information.

Italian is one of those languages I've never wanted to learn.

There isn't enough Renaissance-era literature that you want to read?

Nope. Not too interested in the literature of the area. Not enough to learn the language

I think that is a very subjective question.

You would like Leopardi's thoughts on the two languages found within his Zibaldone

I will have to look in my copy of the Zibaldone on that one.

I want to say it's in the late 3000s, early 4000s, but I'm uncertain

Bolivia is pretty amazing and has a good exchange rate, though you'll need a visa. *NM*
