You shouted, and we listened. Spanish is next on the docket of languages that we'd just like to sit down and have a little chat with. The language of old Castile certainly has its romantic side, but let's talk about all the times it made us say ay, caramba!
Spanish is a direct descendant of Latin, just like Italian and French, and thus has the familiar charm of its relatives. It's the second most common language in the world, and is officially spoken in 20 countries spread across 4 continents. It's also pretty much a running gag on the Internet, and its colourful accent and vocabulary inspire brutal memes.
If you're one of the estimated 90 million people taking on Spanish as a second language, just remember that those little accents really do make a difference in what you write, and that all those verb tenses are only slightly terrifying.

"It is what it is" would be "Es lo que es", "Esto si que es" would be something more like "This really is".
You have to say it out loud in english... S-o-c-k-s..... Tssssss

"Web us come ham on." makes no sense but as spanish speaker sounds like: "Huev Os com Jam on!"
It does not mean that for any native spanish speaker. If you try that in Spain everybody will spell SOCKS this way: "Ese O Ce Ca Ese", nothing to do with "Eso si que es".
If you spell SOCKS in spanish, it has no meaning, it literally is "Ese O Ce Ca Ese", what any native spanish spaker wouldn't understand as something similar to "Eso si que es"
You have to spell it in english, fonetical sound similar to "eso que es"

Your spanish teacher should not be allowed to teach! Spelling socks would be: ESE O CE KA ESE which does not mean anything!
The spelling is in ENGLISH and sound similar to the phrase in spanish, even though the translation is not correct.

lol - Except the inverted question mark leads the sentence..... No wonder they're confused.
It depends on each region. I am mexican, and for us, THAT is a "plátano"
As a Portuguese speaker, I really can't picture an English speaker grasping the difference between "ser" and "estar".
I hate when people say: you speak mexican!, I say: you speak northamerican?
We normally speak in Spanglish in our office. It's not a problem except when we begin writing like this. jajaja
Arabic: You'll never be able to pronounce the Ayn and the Qaf. Don't try.
or maybe it's just a reference to a Pitbull's song called "I know you want me" ...
How many more languages are we going to call "the worst?" First it was English, now Spanish. I thought BP was supposed to be funny.
English was not first. French and German were. Or at least, that's the order of me seeing these articles. Next will be Chinese or Russian. So we can cover all the major world languages. ♥

Hi, sorry if I'm not meant to do this! But it would be great if you could check out my post of my Disney hand art I've done? Thanks
Nothing wrong with trying to share your art with the world. I saw your post, BTW, it's amazing

I'm confused. Which language IS worst between French, German, English, and Spanish? Please help me!!
Some of these are little racist (i.e.Vader w/ a sombrero). Some are pretty funny. Most are just lame.
I watch Anne with an E and she is mesmerized by romantic languages. And don't forget that English owes half of its rich vocabulary to William the conqueror back in 1066.
I find this post very disturbing and offensive. i know is a complicated language and speaking english is easier but there's no need to laugh
Best english - Es mejor el inglés ya que puedes decir más cosas con menos palabras.
These are all bad, false, or just the guy/girl that says it bad, xDDD Learn please
Some of them had no sense at all. Some of them are totally wrong. Nobody says "Mi Papa", nobody says "My Pope". The right way is "El Papa", "The Pope". "Being embarrassed" is NOT "being pregnant". We use a total different word. The right way is "Estoy avergonzado". The right way to say "Im embarrassed" is "Estoy embarazada".....and so on.... More interesting than funny, anyway.
If you think Spanish is the worst, try to say "knife" in Portuguese out loud. :)
How about calling beer/bier/bière/birra cerveza in Spanish? That always f****d with my head..
