I'm kinda sad that I've retained almost nothing from the 4-ish years of Spanish I took in school. I can recognize a few basic words and phrases, but not even enough to be able to hold a simple conversation.

watch out, someone might snatch that out of your hand xD

[Stabbsworth]

that's likely something akin to "I do not comprehend this."

[mdom]

I took French, so, Je ne comprend pas que vous parlez.

I took Spanish. :} And I have Mexican blood but look more white/Asian/mixed? <x} and I've only ever spoken English as a language, so it's really all I know, even though I've had 3 years of Spanish. <x} I haven't been practicing, but I can understand almost 19% of Spanish spoken. Can't hold a conversation worth a darn, only sentences.
Lo siento. Mi espa�ol no es bueno.

Lol. So for the fun of it, I took the Reading Written Spanish proficiency test on Indeed while working on my resume. Apparently I'm "highly proficient". But tbh, it was just me making educated guesses at the correct multiple choice answer based on the 2-3 words I could identify and translate. XD

I might work as a translator...

Mer said: 'Sorry, my spanish is not good.'

I could definitely become a translator. I actually just fucked off over to duolingo out of pure boredom and decided to learn Spanish because it was one of the more common languages in the world other than Chinese, and I don't really want to learn Chinese.

[bluebird]

even if so, those skills can carry over to getting something more official like TOEFL/IEFL. i believe u can do it!

anything is possible with hard work. a lot of us have other priorities/laziness takes over tho XD
