I'm sure they do exactly that. They're sitting there with loads of Tapas plates around them, drinkin Sangría, watching Corridas on TV and dancing around from time to time ;)
Yeah, I spend my days doing all of these.
some people are luckier than others !
That's life! :p |

Do you like the accent from Salamanca? Well, it's better than many others, but I don't like it so much. For me, my favourite accent is the one from Madrid (mine), but a lot of people think that our way of speaking is cocky... Maybe a little bit. Definitely, I don't like the accents neither from Andalucía nor from some parts of the north.
And I'd like to speak English perfectly well, and Polish :)
Polish? I'm always surprised when foreigners want to learn our "w Szczebrzeszynie chrzaszcz brzmi w trzcinie" language ;P But I think it's great! I would love to speak English with Scottish accent (what a surprise, huh?), French, Spanish, Portugese (the most beautiful language in the world!) and Swedish. And that would be it, I think ;) |

Proze to powiedziec po polsku.
Seriously, your languange is so hard. I can't wrap my brain around all the dz, sz, cz, kreska, and a's and e's with the tail.
I'd love to speak with, suprise suprise, a Scottish accent. |

gosh but i'm working in a grocery market for about 6 hours a day. and practically everyone there, workers and shoppers alike, are either Persian or Hispanic, so they both kinda have similar accents. And now, i'm freaking THINKING with their accent. Ahhhhh. At least its a pretty accent, but it's not exactly benefiting my english..
Pretty? Maybe the Hispanic one, but Persian accent is very annoying! Do you really want to speak like this?
I have a BMV.
Can I have a Pitza?
Where iz the closest restoorant?
Tank You
I'm Estudying at Estarbuckz
And I know what you mean by thinking, I always have to put up a Persian accent when I'm speaking with my parents so they understand what I'm saying.

Through my life I've studied French, German, Italian, Latin and Greek (and now I can say I don't remember a thing :p). I want to learn Polish because it's really different from these ones. And also, because I'm trying to sing some songs by Myslovitz, but it's sooooooooooooooooo hard. I read a line (in other words, I invent a sentence :p), but then I'm completely lost! There are a lot of consonants! That's too much for me! Spanish doesn't have more than 3 consonants together....

| I see... Myslovitz are called Polish Travis. But no, I don't really think so :P Yeah, we use a lot of consonants what makes some words difficult even for us! I really think it's very difficult to learn Polish- so good luck! Besides, our curses are awesome! ;D |

Really? I didn't know that Myslovitz are called Polish Travis. I think they are really good (although I don't understand a word they say :p). |

Well, technically, you pronunciate Polish (as people or language) more like Pohlish and nail polish like, you know, nail polish ;) |
