UChicago EA Applicants 2018

<p>@fffightingdaisy Oui, l’anglais et la francais sont muy similares du a la invasion de las normandes en 1066. En realite, je vis en la banlieu dehors de Chicago, mais c’est trop proche! (Sorry, my french must be really bad)</p>

<p>Vous parlez fran</p>

<h1>french party, only with uchicago kids</h1>

<p>I am highly proficient but not completely fluent in Spanish; I’ve taken it since I was four and I really want to become fluent in college. I took French for a year and hated it and quit (my “teacher” was horrible) so I can’t speak much but I can read easy stuff because of its similarities to Spanish and because I took Latin in middle school. My friend is helping me learn German but I got sidetracked with schoolwork, so I haven’t done that in a few weeks. I would actually like to try and learn Spanish, French, and German because I could travel to so many places and use those languages. I would also like to learn some Greek because my best friend is Greek and it would be be really cool to talk to her in Greek instead of English.</p>

<p>It’s amazing how many people here are interested in foreign language! Hardly anyone at my school values it or takes it seriously.</p>

<p>Vraiment 5 autre langue? C’est beaucoup! Quelles langues parles-tu?</p>

<p>La plus part des langues sont africaines comme le wollof et le bambara, et un peut d’ espagnol, le fran</p>

<p>No pronuncio las palabras de espa</p>

<p>@impressionistic</p>

<p>Bueno, la verdad es que no lo hablo con fluidez tampoco, pero puedo expresarme y defenderme bien suficiente. En mi opinion, a pesar de que trates, nunca llegas al nivel de un hablante nativo. El aprendisaje de un idioma no es una ladera que tiene nivels discretos, sino una pendiente suave de etapas diferentes.</p>

<p>I understood everything, I only took Spanish 1 lol.
@ironchariot that sucks, you have bad compa</p>

<p>Also, I freaking love hugs @ironchariot and I hope I get to hug you guys sometime in the future. Someone should form a hug club at UC if there isn’t one already…</p>

<p>@imp tienes raz</p>

<p>(applauding) best idea I ever heard, haha I’ll be a member of the hug club</p>

<p>We’re bordering on violating the not talking about the “D” rule…</p>

<p>heck yeah neon we should start a hug club like charging for hugs an giving to charity</p>

<p>@ironchariot broke the truce, guess who owns me a milkshake!</p>
