English is our primary language in our home, but we are learning to speak Spanish!

Though with my dad's side of the family, there's a lot of German spoken in the home.

depends on what you mean by home. if you mean where my family lives, english. at my current home, it´s spanish. with my friends, it´s a mix between spanish, english and catalan.

Depends on what country I am in. Its the Native tongue for wherever I am.

QueliKelly to John November 07, 2009 16:31:21

i really don´t understand why that phrase is used so much. it means "he/she doesn´t speak spanish" so it´s like you are talking about someone else, but i see it everywhere.
maranderan to QueliKelly November 07, 2009 17:08:35

lol, i just recently noticed this.. shouldnt it be no hablo espanol when referring to oneself?
QueliKelly to maranderan November 07, 2009 17:13:38

yeah exactly!
John to QueliKelly November 08, 2009 01:03:10

Its like the word conversate,

We can make up any new word we want and use a phrase to mean what we want it to mean ,and you just have to live with it ,you know what I meant ,so that means you understood it to mean what i wanted you to understand the phrase to mean as I projected it. comprender.

I'm an American. American English is spoken here. As it should be.

By the way, how come my voters pamphlet comes printed in English and spanish? What up with that? To become a citizen in the USA command of written and spoken English is mandatory. This is bullshit!

English should be the national language. All government business should be conducted in English ONLY.

QueliKelly to crstrode November 07, 2009 16:32:49

it´s not like it hurts you to have both.

anyways, i live in spain, and although i speak the language fluently, i would never want to read something about legal matters in anything but english, because it´s just too important to understand.
crstrode to QueliKelly November 07, 2009 16:39:43

It does harm me to have both. The voters pamphlet - almost 200 pages long - is printed and mailed using my tax dollars. Cutting the expense in half will save literally million of dollars each election in my state alone.

It is obscene that special interests of a minority group are being catered to at he expense of hard working taxpayers.
QueliKelly to crstrode November 07, 2009 16:44:58

then tax dollars are also harming you by making libraries, roads, and upholding fire departments and hospitals. where´s the line?

btw, i agree that people who come to the us should learn english, but when it comes to legal matters, it is very dangerous to hand someone a document and expect them to get it. as a native english speaker, there are plenty of english documents i can´t read because of the legal jargon. i couldn´t even imagine having to read it in a foreign language. i think you´re better off having your tax dollars spent on something that informs people of the law rather than having people vote blindly, in ways that might result in you having to pay more anyway.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
QueliKelly to crstrode November 07, 2009 16:52:56

yeah, but their ignorance will hurt more than just themselves. it will hurt you too.

Can you understand the Gaelic spoken in Scotland and Wales, or are they completely different?

Nabael to Jo November 07, 2009 23:39:45

Idk, I have never been to Either of those places or really listened to them spoken.
Though I can imagine not nearly as well. It would probably be like comparing Spanish to Latin, kinda similar, but not really.
Jo to Nabael November 08, 2009 21:33:05

Thanks, I was just wondering :-)
