Yeah, Spanish is an easy language to learn and gain a grasp over; the only things that ever tripped me up were the accents, the different past tense usages (I can only use one, the past imperfect, so it sounds as though 'I was doing something' constantly, instead of 'I did something' or 'I had done something'...) AND the fact that in most cases, the 'H' is silent, and the 'J' takes the place of the English-sounding 'H' sound we are accustomed to. Also, I can't type on the keyboard anymore because of all the functions for accents. That doesn't matter as much, since I rarely speak it unless I'm prompted to do so.
