Thanks a lot for this lesson Gill ! Dead funny : I guess it's quite similar to the Italian expression "morire dal ridere" which means "dying because of laughing too hard"

@crsmh77 Жыл бұрын

Gill, you are so cute and so English: you give us an example of someone apologizing for being 5 minutes late. 🤣 I'm from Argentina, 5 minutes does not even count as "late". You need from 15 minutes on to apologize. It's called "the 15 minutes tolerance".. and, believe it or not, it's a formal thing for some jobs. Although nowadays, everyone keeps you informed via WhatsApp where they are and when exactly are arriving.

Hello Mayca . Excuse me for intruding . I just wanted to ask you about Spanish language: is it simple to learn it , honestly 😊? And what is the most difficult part in learning it? Thank you

@rubenacevedoacevedo3124 Жыл бұрын

@@bahamansour3178 I think Spanish it's easy to learn in some way because the pronunciation it's standard (the pronunciation doesn't change depending on different words), and also you have only five vowel sounds. However, the grammar could be a little bit tough if you are an English speaker, because you have more tenses and you conjugate verbs (depending on the nouns).

@bahamansour3178 Жыл бұрын

@@rubenacevedoacevedo3124 Seems to me it is just like Arabic language which is so difficult. Hawever , many people encouraged me to learn Spanish language. But bcz i traveled to Africa some years ago i learnt some French. Now i,m boosting what i had learnt ,thx to the youtube. In all languages it is the grammer that's always comlicating and the difficulty varies of course from one language to another. possibly English language remains the easiest among all . Lastly , what is more difficult : Spanish language or Italian language? And is there any similarity between both ? Thank you

That's why we should chill for a while from time to time. That's wicked! At the end of the lesson we are able to use 15 slang words. Well, fancy that!
