Learning Spanish a bit at a time.
I've been planning on moving to a country where they speak Spanish, so I've been studying it for about a year. It's going pretty well.
I think I've made good progress considering that all languages are just random sounds until you "catch on". In radio terms, It's like moving from empty static to squeaks, crackles, and pops, and then to commercials for Viagra.
I've run a few sample conversations from my Spanish through an online translator as a way of checking my progress.
Here's how it goes. My original English is in italic, like this.
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood.
I come to the houses which fill me with day lust.
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Always I want a beautiful man like you to be near.
Would you be mine. Could you be mine.
How much you cost? I wish to purchase your corpse at this moment.
It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood.
Of friendly trees we have the many. I am kiss at them frequently.
A neighborly day for a beauty.
You have loveliness, sir. I wish to embrace you.
Would you be mine. Could you be mine.
I dearly wish the purchase of your limbs. Are many on sale this week, hopefully.
I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
Please to come astride my house it would please me I am crazy with desiring for it.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
My wife I abandon to ship freight at your feet instantly. We must this thing do.
So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Now is good time. We do it vigorously.
Since we're together we might as well say, would you be mine, could you be mine.
We for each other meant to be sticky together like the glue. Come to me readily and many times.
Won't you be my neighbor. Won't you please, won't you please.
Give it at me with immediacy in multiples. I desire to live on you.
Please won't you be my neighbor.
I am wish to eat you with great satisfaction.
So, I'm getting a lot better. What do you think? This may work out after all.
