[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1138071, member: 24302"] When I was in 6th Grade I took Spanish for an elective. The one line I remember is "El burro sabe mas que tu" or "The donkey is smarter than you!" One of those sentences that has most of the sounds of a language. About 19 years ago I was working in a station where the Hispanic employees would often speak Spanish to each other to keep us Anglos from knowing what was being said. One day I told two CSA's that they needed to be careful because I was picking up on alot of what they were saying. One challenged me to say what I heard and I spoke, in perfect Spanish, the above line. Their jaws dropped and no one spoke Spanish in front of me anymore. Even rolled my r, LOL! Got alot of funny looks as if they wondered if I knew what they had been saying about me. I never found Mexican Americans to be near screaming, just that they talk fast(which they say we Anglos speak English too fast also). [/QUOTE]
