[QUOTE="Fighting4yourRights, post: 252266, member: 10388"] [COLOR=black]You know, living in [/COLOR][COLOR=black]Germany[/COLOR][COLOR=black] for 6 months and trying to learn the language was a process that didn't happen over night. It was hard enough to learn the language without a huge percentage of the population constantly criticizing me for speaking and reading English, putting me down for disrespecting their country and publicly ridiculing me for being so ignorant. The people were kind (in general and def after WWII), supported my attempts to butcher their language, and used every opportunity as a learning experience for me. It made me want to learn the language even more. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]My point: putting something in English *and* Spanish can really be a learning opportunity for individuals who are trying to learn the language. I learned a lot of German by watching movies with subtext. Let's not forget, English is a really complicated language with changing grammar, spelling and all the other crazy a## nuances.
