The difficult English pronunciation.

Spanish and English syntax differ the most in colloquial speech. In slightly more complex essays, it is surprising to find how the arrange of syntax is rather very similar in both languages. Consequently, Spanish speakers don't have to work excessively hard to have a good command of the English language in its written form, at least in relationship with many other tongues. There are a few different conventions in the words you may use for expressing something, of course, but it is definitely not difficult to get used to this fact - especially if you read a lot.

However, the rhythm, the speed, the stress of syllables and the pronunciation of consonants and vowels differ so much from the Spanish ones. Spanish is spoken in a flatter and faster way. We don't use such a high rate of consonants per syllable. Each syllable doesn't contain as much information as it would in English indeed. Often you can omit many of them in Spanish, but you can still be understood as well.

I am working very hard at studying the English phonetics. I am not having a easy time because I tend to fall back into using the sounds that are the most familiar for me. Hopefully, it will not take too long to get accustomed to it.

What about you? What is the most difficult thing you have found in your target language?

The grammatically correct sentence would be "he is a shitty student." This is slang as well as vulgar language; if you were speaking about a student as a teacher, or as a parent of a student, to say it formally, you would say "he is a bad student."

An Story About Inheritance.

Word list: quarrel, badly, cantilevered, stroll, likely, eagerly, fright, apparatus, tepid, mane, blast, sightseer, spin.

Jane - Stop quarreling so much with your sister. No one is going to inherit the cantilevered house. It will be likely sold to a local wealthy businessperson. There are some of them who have eagerly expressed their interest in it.

Ben - Why aren't we supposed to inherit the house? It used to be my grandparent's home some time ago and there aren't any other closer family member. We have the right to own it and do with it whatever we want.

Jane - I'll better go for a stroll. I'm frightened of what you will do after I tell you what I'm just about to say...
Ben - What? Are you going to take a walk right now? You are not going to anywhere. Tell me whatever you have to tell me. Why I can't inherit this property? It's mine by right.

Jane - Actually, it isn't. Unless you can pay over 50,000 euros in order to pay your grandparent's debt off.

Ben - You're talking madness. Which debt are you talking about? I've never heard anything about this. Why is it assumed that I should carry on with their debts?

Jane - The State Apparatus and its rules are difficult to understand. In this land, you can't inherit anything unless you settle your family member's debts.

Ben - But my grandparents had the architects make it specially for me and my damn sister. They thought one day we'd live in there. It even has a huge fountain inside on which always flows has tepid water flowing, for instance. It was put there so I can take a big  good care of my long mane. My brain is just about to explode.

Jane - What would you want me to do? Law is law. You haven't been anything more than a sightseer in here for years; I don't know why you care that much about this. Forget it. You're spinning out this.
