On the topic of accents, I always thought everyone in the US spoke a different language when I was 3 or so. But they only have different accents.


Spanish I think is becoming more and more wide spread in the States. It also being seen on packing and what not.

G'day mate! I was flippin' sum shrimp on the barbie when a cloud of blowies started buzzin' round my head! I had to run to the dunny, waited a while, and sprinted to the bute. I was goin along when I hit a roo. Poor thing looked a mess so I called my Sheila on the mobile.

I agree with you on that one. It seems like more and more schools are requiring Spanish classes. At the moment I'm taking a Spanish class.

Como estas?

Muy bien. Y tu?

Spanish definitely is getting much more popular. I'm currently in Spanish 3 and I plan on continuing, so I think I'll be fine.

What were you trying to say there; I don't recognize "esto".

Que es esto?


it means "What is this?"

Depending on the context it could also be 'que es esta' if I remember my Spanish grammar.

Yeah, what is the difference between "esto" and "esta" I can never remember the little things in espanol.

Esto is probably the connotation of "I" and esta is the connotation of "you", hence why we say "como esta" and not "como esto". I could be wrong. I only took half a year of Spanish-I.

Yes. There really is something wrong with Efan.

When you're not being intimate with sheep, yes, yes it is.


If you feel like moving up on The List, continue.

I don't think people that live in the original states 13 states talk differently than people who live elsewhere in the united states. hope that clears thing up.


They all talk different, yet not to the extent which destroys any sort of mutual understanding. Think of African Americans and Southerners.

With America's Hispanic population ever increasing, we will see some shifts.

Sorry the Latin phrase, "Et tu, Brute?" (You too, Brutus?) kept coming to my mind, so I kept thinking "E" instead of "Y".

Oh they do, do they?
I'm in 8th grade taking a high school class.

Isn't the eighth grade a high school grade?

Okay I found a link about the prawn vs. shrimp and where the saying comes from.

Australians, however, invariably use the word prawn rather than shrimp. Because the commercial was commissioned for broadcast in the United States, the change was made to limit audience confusion.[1][2]
