@Tattooed_mummy @ianhecht @Alice But how do you say Espresso lol
@RickiTarr @Tattooed_mummy @Alice Obviously, it should be eggs-presso 🤣
@ianhecht @Tattooed_mummy @Alice The restaurant where I worked got an item with Chipotle long before it was a common thing and the pronunciations I got of it were wild!
@RickiTarr@beige.party @ianhecht@saskodon.ca @Tattooed_mummy@wandering.shop @Alice@beige.party I went to a Mexican restaurant in Texas one time. Great food, but I am sure I bungled some words. The waiter kept repeating it back to me, and I kept mutilating the Spanish words, until I finally pointed to the item on the menu and he nodded his head
@wolleysegap @RickiTarr @ianhecht @Tattooed_mummy I love the Spanish language because every vowel has a very specific pronunciation that doesn’t change on a word-by-word basis.
@Alice @wolleysegap @RickiTarr @ianhecht @Tattooed_mummy You can instantly improve your Spanish accent just by focusing on pronouncing every 'e' as 'ay.'
@Gustodon @Alice @wolleysegap @RickiTarr @ianhecht @Tattooed_mummy The first part of English long a. We pronounce it like a Spanish e followed by a Spanish I.
@not2b @Gustodon @Alice @wolleysegap @RickiTarr @Tattooed_mummy The one thing I really like about Spanish vs English and French is that there seem to be no silent letters at the end of words. English and French have way too many.
@ianhecht The thing I like is being able to drop pronouns. @not2b @Gustodon @Alice @wolleysegap @RickiTarr @Tattooed_mummy
@AlliFlowers@talkedabout.social @ianhecht@saskodon.ca @not2b@sfba.social @Gustodon@mas.to @Alice@beige.party @RickiTarr@beige.party @Tattooed_mummy@wandering.shop German has genders of nouns, everything, every object, lamp, car, fireplace, whatever, is masculine, feminine or neuter. Then there are the verb cases. English is in some ways easier
