What are the advantages of learning french over spanish? I know a lot of spanish right now, and i am pretty good at picking up languages and learning them. I have always wanted to learn French, but thought Spanish would be more useful. Do you think it is possible to learn them both? I am not so sure, i dont want to get them mixed up or anything, or switch just like a few words in a sentence when speaking. Also, i am taking Spanish at school and wouldn't want to mess up on a test or something with a french word, since they are both Romance languages and similar. I already know some French, though. Should i try to learn it as well? Switch langauges? What do you think? Thanks!

I quote from a line in the series The Beat: "The guy who'll BODEGA his girl friend at the drop of a hat." Does it mean 'make love to' ? Thanks in advance, and thanks to those who have helped me previously!

Growing up in school and a area populated with new australians i found that many of the shop keepers did not know english as did many of the parents. I also was left out in conversations at school as they opted to speak their own la Do you think as policy they should have to learn to speak it

As native english speakers, many Americans find accents beautiful, hot, sexy, etc. I hear a Spanish accent and I melt. Same with French and Italian.

However, when Americans learn your language, and really try to get it, is our accent ugly? I've heard that other than english, accents are normal, but when you hear an "American-English" accent in your language, it welcomes ridicule? Although I realize that it is better to try and learn the accent, when you can't, why is our accent never "sexy and beautiful"?

Or have I been misinformed?

You people complain to much saying you hate it when people speak in another language you don't understand like spanish for example. Why you don't make it an obligation to be learn in school, and learn another language that is common in your country.

I can't believe a country full of diverse people only has English as an official language. In Europe many people know three language at leasts which is great because most of those countries are surrounded by other countries that speak other languages which is a great to gain more oportunities and be more cultural and smart. Props to them.

Also I was obligated to learn english in my school since kindergarten and my language is spanish. Why can't you people learn another language and be smarter and more cultural instead of pointing their fingers at other people.

spoken by millions of persons as mother tongue of Hindu/Muslim/Christian religions.
Arabic and Urdu are languages spoken by people of one religion. Is it because Indian languaage speakers are more open minded, or A/U speakers are closed minded?

If our ancestors came from different countries, how do we explain the accents we have today like the midwestern, New England, southern, northern, etc

I know many English words have spellings that were narrowed down from a board range of random spellings, but I was wondering particularly about "often". Thanks!
