Spanish, I can't hold conversation but at least I'm sticking to Duolingo regularly.
Cute story from a Roe protest over the weekend: the organizers were teaching the crowd different chants and included a few spanish chants. Myself and the other non-spanish speakers tried our best, but usually only said one or two words before trailing off into mumbles. Eventually they just had us say "ABORTO LEGAL" and "ABORTO SEGURO" lol
I'm trying to learn Spanish as well and its so much easier written than spoken, for me. I studied Latin 20 years ago so its easier when I can see all the letters but with spoken words and tossing an accent on top its harder to hear the cognates and get it.
Agreed, my ear for it is bad but I can at least pronounce anything I read. Next event I'm suggesting we make some signs with the chants on it to help people.
