I was in Spain for several days last week and had a moment of weakness where I forgot how to pronounce “spain” after I had uttered it in English. I was like, “hahhae!”, but it was like a reflex. I had a moment where I thought about how many Spanish people I know who speak English.
Well, if you don’t know any Spanish, then you definitely don’t know any English. And I’m not going to lie, I’m not going to lie, I don’t speak Spanish either. I’ve had a long time to catch up.
And to make it even worse for the rest of us, I think my Spanish was better than my English. I felt like I knew what I was talking about.
I think there are as many people who have had this moment as there are English speakers. And I would bet that the majority of those who spoke English in the past, when they were children, spoke English as their second language. As young people, we tend to forget that we are born with the ability to speak a language at a very early stage, and it’s a part of who we are.
Spanish-speaking countries are often referred to as “The First World” because they have so much in common with the rest of the world. The Spanish have the same language, a culture so similar to the rest of the world, and a language that is very similar to English. But they are also very different. A lot of the differences are cultural.
One of the most distinguishing factors between the different nationalities in Europe is the language spoken. There are the old Romance languages, such as Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, and others. Then there are the new languages, mainly Romance, which are spoken by many, but are not the official languages. In the north of Spain, you have the Basque language, which is similar to Catalan and Basque.
That’s right, Basque is the official language of the Basques in Spain. In the south of Spain, you have the Catalan language, which is similar to Valencian Spanish and so on and so forth. In South America, there is also English.
Basically, if you speak one of these new languages, you can communicate with the other major languages without a language barrier. Also, you can tell a lot of people about these languages, because they generally use the word “languages” to refer to a group of languages.
I had to wait a while after this to even find out that Spanish is the official language of the Basques, but I’m happy to report that I have been using it for the last few weeks now, and I feel it has made me a better person. I may not be fluent in it yet, but I’m getting there. I can now make my own Spanish phrases, even if I have to say it to myself.
And when I say Spanish, I mean all the Spanish I can find in Spanish, because the language is a living thing. Some people have Spanish as a second language, while others feel that they have to speak it to others. Some people have Spanish as a second language because they’re learning it, while others feel they have to speak it to themself.
