The United States is now the second country with the most Spanish speakers

[BrokeLoser]

Not everyone who speaks Spanish is "Mexican," dumbass. Not every immigrant is "illegal," dumbass. "Not every person from Latin America is "Mexican," dumbass.

You can play pretend all you want…Sane people know better…Nobody here legally and with legal lineage speaks Spanish in public.
Mexico, Central and South America…all the same shithole practicing the same shit cultural behaviors.

WRONG, dumbass.

 

[BrokeLoser]

Once again, it never occurred to me that the only people speaking Spanish were Mexicans that broke into the country.

Only a mindless racist like yourself would assume such a thing.

I’ll play along…I like the diversion game.
So tell us, is it a good or bad thing that so many Spanish speakers have broke into our nation that America is now the “second country with the most Spanish speakers”?

WRONG, dumbass.

It is bad that people broke into our country.

are you honestly this stupid?

I'm a trained, educated, experienced linguist. How about you?

Since you claim to be such, you are aware of what a dual grammatical form is, correct?

 

[Couchpotato]

Not true. Anyone can learn languages given the right environment and motivations.

It's 100% true. Why would language be any different than literally every other skill humans can acquire?

 

[Couchpotato]

No language is "harder" than another.

That's 100% unadulterated bullshit..

You know you're on the internet, right genius?

 

[Couchpotato]

Indeed. As noted there are 212MM Brazilians. The GDP of Brazil is equal or better than Russia's in 2024. And they party way harder!

Psst. They dont speak Spanish in Brazil...

Oh, so you had to Google it.

Thanks for proving my point for me!

That was far too easy.

NO SHIT SHERLOCK.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

It's 100% true.

For someone that is fluent in Spanish, learning Portuguese is far easier for them than learning Cantonese would be.

The fact you are trying to dispute this puts all your claims of being a teacher in question.

 

[Couchpotato]

It's 100% true.

Nope and you saying it is doesnt make it so. It may be true that no one language is harder to learn as a native speaker (though even that is questionable) it's most definitely not true that languages are equal in difficulty when learning them as a second language. If you go to DLI for Spanish the course is 6 months. For Arabic it's currently 18 I think. Both courses aim to get you to a 2/2 on the DLPT. If those languages were of equal difficulty why on earth would 1 take 3 times as long to gain the same level of aptitude as the other?

No language is "harder" than another.

No language is inherently “harder” than another for its native speakers

But some languages are going to be harder or easier to learn as a second language depending on the native language.

For English speakers, French Spanish or German are going to be somewhat easier to learn than Japanese or Arabic

The common alphabet and large number of cognates are going to make those languages more accessible at first. How could they not?

Language is a uniquely and exclusive human ability.
