Yes, thanks for verifying that, burkphoto. I took four years of Spanish in school, but I don't remember a lot of it. I like learning language, not that I actually do it that much, because not everyone thinks exactly the same, and the way a language is expressed can reveal a unique way of looking at the world. It gives us a little different look at the philosophy of cultures and ways of viewing the world and reality.

In Spanish for the most part a vowel is pronounced only one way. It is a lot easier in a lot of ways. One thing I have trouble with is they use direct and indirect objects far more than we do, and it seems to me they use the passive voice more. And they definitely use the subjunctive a lot whereas in English, the subjunctive has all but disappeared.

This may not be totally accurate as they are two different types of languages. However, a lot of the ancestry is the same. English is German mixed with Latin, Spanish is Latin with a touch of Arabic, and a few other things. Closer to the original Latin than even Italian is.

Definitely, but understanding Spanish pronunciation of words can be very difficult. When they talk slowly, I can get a pretty good idea what they are saying, but when they talk at normal speed, I don't understand a thing.

Spanish does lend itself to a lot of slang and colloquialisms though, not that other languages don't. In my neighborhood I would guess 80% of neighbors speech Spanish, some only Spanish, and they tell me the slang is so wild that people on the north side of town can't understand the Spanish on the south side of town, let alone some of the small towns around here. Well, they are exaggerating...at least a little.

Sharp, excellent focus

Its cuteness doesn't appeal to me. A good picture, but I am not too fond of snakes.
