Droppin' out of Spanish near the end of the year?

what a coincidence because i started learning spanish again yesterday
honestly learning a new language is not easy and spanish has a very specific accent BUT the grammar is very simple and once you get all the sounds right it should become even more easier
not sure about french because never tried :V

edit:. while i was at school i thought that spanish was a pain in the booty as well ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o)

I dunno, normally there is a point in the semester after which you can't drop a class without it screwing up your GPA. If you haven't passed this deadline yet, I'd say there's no problem dropping it. Otherwise, see if you can get help from the prof or a TA or something

spanish is a language talked by more people and more countries than french, i recommed you to put efford on it, after all learning a new language is very difficult for all, i recommend you to play your games in spanish, it can help you to hear the pronunciation, i did the same to learn some english :)

As Killer007 stated, Spanish will help you a lot more than french, specially if you live in the US. It's a beautiful language, too.

Hola, no juegues juegos (valga la redundancia) en castellano porque el doblaje en España es una auténtica mierda, no es de calidad. Voces en inglés, subtítulos en castellano podría ayudarte. Voces no, suelen usar 3 actores para todo y no son voces creíbles. Es una opinión poco compartida e incluso vilipendiada, pero el doblaje castellano es basura.

It would help you if you translate this shit!

Well I was pretty much in the same situation but I took German instead and it went just fine. I'm not sure why but I always had a lot of problem with Spanish...

Tell us about what your choice is anyway

Spanish is not tooo hard but it depends on the person

I had written this for your previous posting, but the discussion was closed.
I do not want to lose the opportunity to share what he had done ^^

Estar= (position, location) or (attitude, feeling).
example (position, location):
El director está en su despacho. (The director is in his office)
example for (attitude, feeling):
El profesor está enfadado con nosotros.(The teacher is angry with us.)

Ser= (thing, entity), (human, person, individual), (possession), (serve for something)
examples:
Tu mascota es un ser vivo, no un juguete. (Your pet is a living being, not a toy.)
Es un ser despreciable, ha hecho cosas terribles. (it is a despicable being, has done terrible things.)
El agua del lago es azul. (The lake water is blue.)
Estos dos coches son míos. (These two cars are mine.)
Fernando Alonso es de Asturias. (Fernando Alonso is from Asturias.)
La cama es para dormir. (The bed is for sleeping.)

Hope that helps

Im from argentina :p. I can speak english a lot(i think),so little french and portugese,and near nothing of japanese...But i studied french, i loved that language..but if u leave it some time..you came back to 0... Study spanish...

No idea for what a grade point average is, and why is so important that it is high or low. But if you are thinking about giving up one entire year of Spanish lessons it has to be very important, so I could say: do it.

You should keep learning Spanish, even if you drop out of your Spanish class. To emphasize what Killer007 said, there are more Spanish native speakers in the world than English native speakers (key word being native), that's a lot. It would also be great if you took other languages classes.

I speak Spanish, Engish and a bit of French. I'd say you should definitely stay studying Spanish, French verbs are impossible, believe me. Try watching youtube videos or something like that to train your ears to the language. You could also ask for help here, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would help you :)

Depending on your school you might not be able to drop this late, so the grade would default to an F. If they let you drop it usually has a W as a grade which means withdrawal. It's a limbo grade that means you can take the class again and the W is replaced with the grade you finish with. I would highly recommend sticking with Spanish since you live in Texas. Immersion learning helps a lot so interact with classmates outside of class. Invite them over to play games and only speak Spanish. Play your video games in Spanish. Watch movies in Spanish. You have to find the method that helps you learn. Maybe Influent could help a bit.

I'd recommend sticking with spanish and working hard at it, I took 4 years of it in highschool, now after taking the AP exam I am getting a spanish minor after 1 year in college. Plus there is a large population in the US that speaks only spanish.

Even if you NEED to drop the current class, you should just stick to Spanish (redo the class) and really try with it instead of changing. Or if it's salvageable then you should put in more effort to raise the grade. You've already learned the basics for it so it will be easier for you to build on that rather than starting anew. Also, it's all very well to SAY you're going to switch to French and put in effort but what if you just end up going the same route as you did with this Spanish class? I don't know you but that's usually how students' motivations go: they start out saying and truly believing they will try harder... and they DO for like one month and then it's back to the usual habits.

Not sure what your school system is like or what your personal situation is so I don't know about dropping the current class. You might want to speak to your school's academic counsellor for advice.

When i was in school, I dropped out of French and took Spanish. Since then, I've learned several other languages. I would strongly suggest that you pick a language that you are actually interested in, and it helps a lot if there are other people to speak with who are native speakers of that language.

In the end, it doesn't matter which languages you learn. Each one offers insight into a people and their culture, and the usefulness of your learning depends upon how often you use the language in your daily life.

If you think French is an easier route than Spanish, you're way, way wrong. I speak Portuguese so when taking both of those, I had an easier time. Americans struggle enough with romance languages as easy as Spanish, phonetically, with French you will have no chance. But here's the question:

Are you failing because you're not putting the necessary effort or because you truly have linguistic difficulties? Judging by this, "So I am thinking of going into French for the next 2 years and actually putting in effort" it's the former. Stop being lazy, retake Spanish I, get at least a B, then move on with pride to the next level. There's nothing better than being able to communicate with people in their language, especially if you are abroad in their country.

mi no saber español, ajja bromeo, es un lenguaje muy bonito, pero muy dividido por las nacionalidades hispanas e incluso mas aun con el castellano de los gallegos.
Una recomendacion? habla / chatea con personas de habla hispana, te ayudara a comprender y recordar mucho mejor el idioma.
Suerte

Play videogames in spanish and watch tv show in spanish with spanish subtitles, and when you think you can handle it begin reading some books, obviously not the don quixote kind of books, just read simple books, maybe something you read in english before

most of that stuff helped me with english, maybe it will help you with spanish

hey bato loco, español no es dificil ese.
