Would someone please explain to me why I, as a white man, feel like I am dying inside as I read Rebecca’s comment? Seriously, I don’t if it’s because used coffee creamer for milk in my cereal this morning, but as I read her comment I felt my stomach collapse on itself.

“Ahem. If you are referring to the author of “100 años de soledad”, then you should have said “García Marquez”, seeing as that is his whole last name. Entonces, no soy gringa porque hablo español y creo que inglés es el idioma más difícil del mundo. ¿verdad?

Besos y abrazos,

Rebecca”

As a white person, in my daily life I’m already required to speak five domestic languages:
Redneck, Cop, Bullshit, Legalese, and a special Texas border dialect of Spanglish.

Who has time for /foreign/ languages?

Okay, I thought that this was funny, but I’m black. I’ve studied and traveled to French and Spanish-speaking area. I have a scant knowledge of Italian and German.

I’d like to know if you have any tips for me. I’d like to become fluent in those five languages within six months. (I don’t have time to immersion learning)

I have all the books and tapes. I’ve also tried everything you mentioned in your article.

Any tips? I’m in a very embarrassing situation — my African and Caribbean friends are multilingual. I’ve have to become fluent and fast.

Thanks in advance.

It’s sarcastic, people…It’s supposed to be funny.
