Stormbringer Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 41 minutes ago, Enrico_sw said: You are? That's great! Is it for fun or do you have a specific purpouse? You know there's actually a part of France in South America (Guyana). Have you been there? That's a nice place. Mostly for fun. And yes, I knew about it. Never been there though. Have you? 42 minutes ago, Enrico_sw said: Yes, it's hard for me to understand spoken Spanish as well. I think it's got to do with the facts that I can't detect when a word ends and another starts. Then the intonation makes it harder and the speaking pace are quite different too. The hardest "latin (romance) language" for me is probably Portuguese. Well, I have a similar problem with French Also the overwhelming amount of homophones it has (or at least homophones for an untrained ear like me) doesn't make it easier. Other thing about Spanish that may make it harder is its myriad of different accents Portuguese is veeeery similar to Spanish too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musically interesting too, besides the pyrotechnic speed (except for the Annihilator one... that one is mostly just pentatonic with some extra notes here and there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some big spiders, but they're nice ones, people pet them (you could pet one, they're soft like velvet!) There are jaguars, big snakes, caiman, etc. but the real dangers are mosquitoes, parasites and microbes! The small beasts are more dangerous than the big ones. I thought I could swim in the ocean, but apparently the currents are dangerous. As for the rivers, well... there are leeches and piranhas (I realize I might not sell it very well, but I assure you it's a great place ) 22 hours ago, Stormbringer said: Also the overwhelming amount of homophones it has (or at least homophones for an untrained ear like me) doesn't make it easier.
