QUE DIFICIL ES EL CASTELLANO

OLDIE BUT GOODIE 29 (10/3/2006)

Muchas veces nos quejamos de lo difícil que es hablar ingles.
Pues, para gente de otros países es todavía más difícil aprender castellano.

¡ Ese idioma tan complejo con tanto vocabulario y una gramática imposible !

Las primeras veces que intentamos utilizar el ingles que hemos aprendido, nos responderan "I´m sorry........" "What?" " I don´t understand you" "Can you repeat it?".
Nos pondremos algo nerviosos y repetiremos varias veces nuestra frase incluso ayudandonos con gestos y señas.

A ellos también les sucede, incluso diría que lo pasan peor.

Lo que sucede es que hablamos ingles con nuestro acento y eso dificulta que nos entiendan.

Luego, si pasamos un tiempo en ese país imitaremos algo su acento y nos entenderán cada vez mejor.

De cualquier manera HAY QUE HABLAR, NO HAY QUE TENER MIEDO AL RIDÍCULO.

Para ilustrar lo que he dicho, vereis unos vídeos realizados por estudiantes americanos de castellano. En realidad hablan castellano muy bien, pero tienen un acento que hace difícil nuestra comprensión.
