I took 3 years of Spanish in HS and don't remember a thing.

For the first 17 years of my life, i never understand a single word of Spanish, yet since i've been listen to my dad saying it, if somebody pass me an spanish article, i can speak word to word in perfect anotation (Apart from the rolloing RR as i cannot roll my tounge)

Then i decided to learn spanish and trying to understand what he is on about, turns out most of the stuff he said was the english equivent of "F Word"

How did you learn this two dialects?

umm, ihave my middle school and high school education in both Hong Kong and China........

Let me tell you something, there is an old trick on learning spanish.

First, you need to pair up with a Native speaker, then keep asking this - "Como se dice XXXX" then just point.......

Not like cajones. Cajones is not a bad word in Spanish. I grew up in Southern Calif and they say the real bad words in Mexican Spanish. So was your dad living with you mom in HK China as well?

Instead of learning Portuguese, I chose Mandarin class at my middle school since it is much more easier and most importantly I was lazy. But I did take some lessons from Instituto Português do Oriente long time ago. Now the only thing still in my mind is "Oh meu deus".

that will be Mama Mia Dios Mio in espanol.......

A few years back i heard a news of the famous chandler bing catch phase trying to dubbed into Portugese.......

Instead of the famous Chandler Bing style in Portugese, i think they either went with aiyaya or go back to the original OH, my god.

So I guess your folks are divorced? Sorry to hear that. So you now lives in Sydney? Why did you move there?

"Como se dice XXXX"

Exact same wording is in Italian too. Or come si dice, not really sure, haven't used Italian in years.

How about Indians and Pakistanis? are you the same people with different religions,like Han Chinese and Hui Chinese.or Pakistanis are just a totally different lighter race?

Pashtuns and Baloch are different from Indians, rest are similar with North Indians.
