Kens, I like language and put a lot of effort into the Japanese thing. I thought Spanish would be a piece of cake and it is very easy to get to a level of speaking very badly. But to speak Spanish well is so much harder than I imagined. The verbs are really complicated, unlike English.
wow Donatella, you’re quiet a language buff…BTW, I don’t really speak Spanish. I used to understand it pretty well but if you don’t use it, you lose it so I kinda got rusty with Espanol. I can still understand somewhat and also can spot accent differences between Spanish and Latin speakers.
Dona, I thought Spanish was a relatively easy language to learn and English is considered a difficult language. From http://www.lexiophiles.com:
Top List of the hardest languages to learn
1. Basque
2. Hungarian
3. Chinese
4. Polish
5. Japanese
6. Russian
7. German
8. Korean
9. English
10. Swahili

Doubt it! Pier 6 is in Brooklyn Heights. The key holder is prolly a 70yr old resident (youngest one they can find) and needs to be in bed by 7pm.
