Creo que no hay muchas personas en mi flist quien no están en el flist de corinthian, pero oooooooh~. ¡La comunidad de languageclub es mega guay! Y necesito practicar mucho porque, hahaha, mi madre quiere que yo trabaje con niños hispanohablantes este verano para enseñar la... ¿literaza? Creo que la palabra es “literaza”... ¡Pero no pudiera enseñar nada si no hablara español!

schiarire, debemos hablar spanglish allí. Es una lenguaje “foreign,” ¿de verdad?

HOLA.

[skywalker]

¿QUIERES TACO BELL?

[corinthian]

. . . how do you get your computer to type in Spanish

[skywalker]

Well for the upside down question mark I googled "upside down question mark."

For the accents, I rigged Word up to type accents when I was taking Spanish. ctrl+alt+vowel --> accented vowel.

[corinthian]

Thank you!


... but that sounds complex. I wonder if I can install a Spanish language bar. . .

[skywalker]

idk, it's muscle memory now! I sat down to type in Spanish (the first time I've done it in a while) and just pressed buttons without thinking about it until I got accented vowels.

[corinthian]

I would love to try more Spanish but I haven't taken any for over like 6 or 7 years now. ;;

[skywalker]

I haven't taken any for a year. It makes me really trip up, especially over conjugating irregular verbs...

[corinthian]

Well, I am impressed by your Spanish!

[skywalker]

Typing is easier than talking! I rely on tricks and poems to remember a lot of things, and I can stop to pick a better word/conjugation when I have time to think about it.

Also, you should speak Spanglish. Find someone else who took Spanish in high school, then run around saying TENGO HAMBRE! and ESTOY CANSADA!

[corinthian]

I often say Yo Pienso Que YOU'RE WRONG Desu.


. . . but that is. Something else entirely.

[skywalker]

Yes, using palabras randomly in sentences is key to baby Spanglish!

I mean, es mejor que not using Spanish at all, right?

[corinthian]

That sentence is so easy to parse that I completely didn't realize it was in Spanish.

[skywalker]

Yeah, exactly.

For extra easiness, use Latin American cheat words like "troque," "caque," and "antibaby" instead of Spainish Spanish.

[corinthian]

I actually dunno what those words are.

[skywalker]

Truck, cake, and birth control.

[corinthian]

. . . a. . . antibaby. . .

The Spanglish unit of my oral review class was the best part of the course.

Except that class where the hot grad student sub talked about his spring break in Mexico.
