Today, I watched a movie with my little sister. I couldn't understand a word that was said during one scene, but I figured it was in some kind of made-up language. When I commented on it later, she called me a moron and said it was Spanish. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my sister told me about her upcoming trip to Mexico. I asked her how she was going to do anything without knowing any Spanish. She told me she's "just going to read their lips". FML

Today, I was talking to a smokin' hot Cuban sorority girl. She told me her mom only speaks Spanish, so she translates for her. Without thinking I said, "Oh like Chewbacca and Han Solo?" FML

Today, we watched a movie in French class. I went on a French exchange last year, so I wanted to sound all impressive and cultured for my crush who is in the same class. I said that it was my favorite movie and I couldn't wait to watch it with everyone. The movie turned out to be about incest. FML

Today, in my film class, we were watching Schindler's List. At least, we tried. The moron next to me kept interrupting the most intense scenes with a very loud, "I don't get it." Not only did she break the focus of the class, but we had to keep stopping the movie to explain it to her. FML

Today, my girlfriend's grandparents walked in on us getting intimate. She immediately ran to the bathroom, leaving me alone with them. They only speak Spanish, which is not my first language. We discussed the movie she and I were "watching", all while I was naked under the sheets. FML

Communication Breakdown

Today, I was unable to communicate with a customer who only spoke French. As a result, my boss called me a "monolingual idiot." I speak Spanish, German, and Japanese. FML

Today, I was at a mall. A woman stopped by me, said slowly and loudly, in Spanish "baño?" Knowing a bit of Spanish, I nodded and pointed the restrooms out for her. She then mutters about "dang Mexicans and their inability to speak English". I'm not even Latina. I'm Irish-American. FML

Everyday racism

Today, my college did a fire drill, and instructions were given by intercom in English and Spanish. The guy beside me mused, "If they say it in English and Mexican, why not say it in Black too?" That guy is my idiot brother, and he was dead serious. Sometimes I think our parents are related. FML

Coffee machine goes BRRRRRR

Today, my Spanish teacher imitated the sound of a coffee grinder, and then said in Spanish, "OK, all of you do it." I did it, thinking everyone else would too. I was the only one in the class who'd understood the Spanish part. FML

Movie going

Today, a man kept talking and laughing like an idiot all through the movie I was watching. I thought he was high, so I called him a moron and told him to shut the hell up. It turned out he wasn't high. He was just "special". FML

#28- You have no faith in your generation why? Is it because you think that the mexicans and spanish are one day going to take over the world and make spanish the universal language, and then your generation is going to be lined up and shot because they can't speak it? Good luck getting any support out of your peers for that nonsense.

69, I'm pretty sure he has no faith in his generation because so many people in it (like the OP) are almost too dumb to live.

69- No. He has no faith in his generation because unfortunately, there are plenty of teens like OP that can't tell the difference between Spanish and Pig-Latin. Reading WAY too much into the comment, bud.

69- Why? Because our generation lives blissfully within ignorance, and "we" are generally content living life without the knowledge of other cultures. While I don't think everyone should necessarily be fluent in every language, they should be at least cognizant of foreign influences. Especially one as prominent as the Spanish language.

¿You live in CALIFORNIA and you can't recognize español? That's truly insane, considering our proximity to the border and the large population of Spanish speaking people who live here!

If you live in Cali, you must think the city you live in and all the neighboring towns are gibberish. Did you know that Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Monterrey, Cupertino, Los Gatos and many others are not just random syllables?
