Ah Charles, apologies because I've asked you this about a thousand times but I finally have decided I'm going to polish up my French and learn Spanish.Originally Posted by Sir C
isn't jerky enough and is a clear example of cultural appropriation.
Honestly. The only way to react now is
The lunatics have taken control of the asylum.
The name of the language learning person/company thingy you recommended many moons ago? Chaws.
Blimey, it must be 14 years since you asked me that. 2004 I did the Spanish one...
Michel Thomas was his name. I have a feeling he's dead now.
Did you ever feel like asking what the Spanish for 'It's up for grabs now!' was?
Very good b, very good.
I'm going to be frank with you here. Events in 2004 sort of got in the way of my doing anything meaningful with this Spanish course. Yes, I found myself somewhat distracted.
Yes.
Anyway, Jamie Oliver has committed much worse cultural appropriation than making jerk rice.

Died a few years back now. His tapes are still available though. Always sounded like he was still half chewing the remains of his lunch, seemed like a nice enough chap though.
If anybody does genuinely want to learn Spanish though and is based in London, I can recommend here - If you let Maria know I sent you her way, she would most definitely ensure you got the Platinum service. https://www.spanishhouselondon.com/
He had a strange accent and no mistake, but I liked his methods.

If I click on that link I'm going to a knocking shop, aren't I?
Haha, believe it or not but it is a very good Spanish language school based in Clapham. I went for a few years in their early days and got on very well with Maria who founded it. She helped me over the years with proof reading my wedding speech that was in Spanish and other bits and pieces. I have watched on as her business has grown. So despite my tongue in cheek comment about the platinum service, I really would recommend it if you want to brush up on your Spanish.
You fluent now Marv?
I sooooo want to be fluent in Spanish.
I can understand most things most of the time. I lack confidence in speaking because I don't practise enough. Our kids are bilingual but I am not allowed to speak to them in Spanish as they have to learn the Spanish from their mum and English from me, not vice versa, that would be a disaster!You fluent now Marv?

To be honest, unless you went to live there and had no option but to speak it 100% of the time to survive or learnt it from a VERY young age, you will never be fluent.
