[QUOTE="Pathfinder075, post: 1159805, member: 45712"] My sister in law went to Spain with my brother and she said the way they speak it is completely different to in Peru. In Peru, as a language it flows, but in Spain not so much. Also a lot of the gutteral sounds and tricky spoken quirks have been removed in the South American version to make it easier to learn and use. They still understood her and she taught my brother to a pretty high level throughout Covid times (when he ended up trapped in Peru after his wedding). I've tried to learn it a couple of times over the years, but for some reason i find it really hard. French was what i did at school and I am not fluent, but I can get by easily and survive quite comfortably in France with my school boy level (and the fact a lot of my online gaming friends are French). I did Duolingo for a while and yes you pick up words, but it isn't conversationally viable as a platform, it's more like learning a dictionary, but for me it didn't teach you how to string the words together into sentences. I'm still working on it. Maybe by 60 I will have learnt enough for some level of conversation. :P [/QUOTE]
