jt2003 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Hindi maipagmamalaki sapagkat simbolo ito ng pananakop at panunupil ng mga kastila. panu yan aktibista ako? ...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Naku Ma'am. Take it from someone who was too short-sighted to take this language seriously. Knowing Spanish will serve you well later in life. Edited June 15, 2005 by jt2003 Quote Link to comment

agxo3 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Im an FA grad and I really wanted to learn Latin if i had the chance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Latin! Yes!!!! 4 years in high school. Got good enough back then to hold real life converstions with my friends. By now, most of what I learned is gone........at least on the surface. I hooked up with a few hs buddies not too long ago, and by the end of the day, little bits and pieces of latin crept into the conversation. Then a couple of years ago, I wento to Rome, and walked through the forum in the center of town. Big old blocks of marble, with words carved into them - and I could read most of 'em!!! Surprised the heck out of me, and the people next to me when I started reading the blocks out loud. They trailed me all around, asking me what the blocks said. Made for a really interesting day. Funny what hides in the back of your consciousness. Quote Link to comment

strangedays Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Took up latin when I was in the seminary but I left after a few months so di natapos. Took up Mandarin for a schoolyear and a half but switched to Japanese (ganda nung teacher- panalo!) Switched to mandarin when she left So took a lot of foreign language classes but never became fluent in any of them Quote Link to comment
rapturousone Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Mandarin during grade school and high school. French and Spanish during college. My experience is that it is best if the language is used as often as possible otherwise most of it is lost over time. However, it is relatively easy to pick up the language once again when you're re-exposed to it (i.e., travelling or taking a refresher course). Quote Link to comment
Guest buru_tus Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 ESPANOL requirement yata ito sa USTE para mabasa mo ang iyong DIPLOMA :cool: Quote Link to comment

devil_lance Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 when i was in Pre-dentistry, we took up mandarin <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think Mandarin is required to be learned in CEU Quote Link to comment
Immortal666 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I took up 6 units of Spanish back in college but I was just studying it for the grade and not to learn. The phrase that I can consistently say is "Vamos a comer!" Sayang! If I took it seriously, I would've been earning more than double I'm making now in my call center job. Quote Link to comment
