I would like to share a beautiful song with you all – I find it funny and really cool. It is in Spanish, but the video has English subtitles (of outstanding quality, I must say). It deals with the difficulties of learning Spanish as a second language… And then some 😛

I wonder if something similar could be done with English?

(Oh, I opened this thread in MPSIMS, but then I thought that maybe it would be more “at home” in Cafe Society – If a moderator thinks that’s the case, well, take it there 🙂 )

Oh man isn’t that the truth. My ex a Manchega called a little Mexican girl a “Pu\*\*y” instead of a “Cutie” same word, oops.

Very funny
