I know that, but do you? And don't call me Shirley.You know the answer to that yourself surely.

Most people on here don't have much positive - or negative - to say about Christians, Hindus, Jews, Mormons, Taoism devotees, Jehovah's Witnesses, Bhuddists etc.
Religion is not usually a hot topic because in nearly all cases a person's religion is a private matter which causes no bother to anyone else and so nobody mentions it.
See last pageFor what?
Its anti muslim rhetoric and nothing else.
Give me an example of my negative comments about Muslims.
You need to get this fluent thing out of your head, it's incredibly rare to master fluency in a second language after the age of 14.
It's not that difficult to become good in a language at any age, good meaning you can have conversation about subjects you have an interest in.
Language learning is time consuming. Some languages are easier than others.
The secret to language learning is: repetitio mater studiorum est
One thing I find with speaking different languages is it's confusing. I was watching a film the other day and turned to the wife and asked her what the fuck was going on? She answered You should know it's in English: my brain was translating it into Spanish.
Haha this is true. you learn a language to the level that you require. In Benidorm and surrounding areas there are thousands up on thousands of ex-pats that have zero desire to learn any Spanish. They don't want to or they aren't able to (learning a language is not fucking easy. It's hard, expensive, time-consuming and frustrating). I think most people come to live in places like Spain with the intention of learning Spanish but the reality soon kicks in. I married an English woman and have had a job that mostly requires me to speak in English. Therefore it's not necessary for me to speak Spanish and nor is it easy (the best language speakers seem to be those who are surrounded by the language through work or family life, where it is sink or swim). That said I can speak, understand and read Spanish to quite a decent level. I can setup a bank account, ask the Town Hall where my fucking house plan are and call Movistar asking them to refund the three months they've been charging me for a premium TV account that I never signed up to.
I should be better after nearly 6 years of living here but my life dictates the level of Spanish that I need and I'm comfortable with where I'm at. My Spanish is certainly better than a lot of ex-pats I meet.
