      So I understand Spanish.

      But where I went to school we weren't allowed to speak that evil beaner language and so my Spanish is hugely passive. I live in an area where people don't speak Spanish so I go to my parents if I want that. So my mother speaks to me in Spanish, I respond in Spanglish, but my dad doesn't like not knowing what's going on so I don't speak Spanish around him out of respect, and I mainly use it when shit talking yuppies or giving Brazilians directions on MMOs.

      And I just made a business call and I totally got way too goddamn nervous to even think in Spanish because I never speak in Spanish so I just was like SONRIA Y DILE SI the whole way through

      I am a Mexi-Can't :(.

      Which of you goons can I practice Spanish with on Skype? I'm a_kazlauskas.

        I'm an English as a Foreign Language teacher from a Spanish speaking country, and I've taught Spanish to people. I'd be happy to have conversations in Spanish from time to time.

          So envious of anyone with an early start on two or more languages.

            Man it would be cool if there were a small MUSh somewhere that basically only existed for the purpose of spanish-learners at differing levels being able to communicate with each other in a controlled environment and get constructive feedback about both formal and conversational spanish. usage and skills.

                  How easy is it to support the necessary punctuation etc?

                        I can get behind either of those options.

                          ... Are there elements to how you got @Thenomain on-board with helping make Eldritch that I don't know about? Just curious.
