why?

And, hell yes, I liked science. Math and Science were my strong subjects. They also, for me, go hand in hand.

I've always been pretty awesome at math.

I don't even pay attention most of the time and still understand the material.

I'm good at science too, but I hate it. I also hate math.

I don't understand why I know so many people who suck at English though. It's the language they speak!

It means I can carry a conversation with a native speaker in spoken or written form but it has to stay "simple." Meaning, we could not discuss the political complexities that existed during the Mexican-American War or something like that. It would have to stick to something like, "I need to put gas in my car."

"Necesito poner gasolina en mi coche."*

I think being able to use proper grammar (about 85% of the time) in spoken and written forms constitutes being "fluent." I cannot do that, in Spanish. I can barely remember 3 verb forms, much less the 7 that I learned more than a decade ago.

* I did that just because Bardock mentioned actually doing it. So I did it. I checked google translate and I was pretty close...I think my rendering is actually better than Google translate. Is there a native speaker out there that can confirm my translation as better?

I think you only really say coche when youre in Spain but I'm sure that other spanish-speakers would know what you were saying.

I learned "Spain" Spanish, for the most part. We went over vosotros, as well, which I hear is not something Mexicans use.

It's because Spanish class (in an American school) is mostly quizzes in Spanish (at least, mine were) and those are really really easy for a native speaker.

He's fluent in Spanish, which makes it funnier. But the reason he did fail was mostly because he never did work or came to school (he missed like 45 days the year he failed Spanish class), but there was one quiz he took where his grade was like a 50.

I plan on taking Spanish.

Apparently where I live (not sure if it's true nationwide) you HAVE to have 2 years of a class on a foreign language to attend a 4 year college.

I have one friend who says he's gonna go to a 2 year college, then transfer to another 2 year college after 2 years.

It was true of my highschool to graduate with honors and/or be eligible for the "valedictorian" spot. Some schools make up arbitrary rules for fun, I think.

My school has some of the most retarded rules EVER.

I'm the same way. I'm good at math and science without paying attention most of the time, but I still hate it.

lol it's just so boring to me.

It's weird to be good at something I hate so much.

That would be great but there are special classes the slower kids can take and that is learning support classes.

jiggy

slower kids learn slow and not enough patience to teachem
