I'm failing Calc II and I dropped Spanish. There's no hope for me this semester.

Its funny, a lot of Linguistics students tell me that Japanese (one of the languages I'm taking) and Spanish are really similar to each other and I just don't see it. For one thing, I dislike any language that pays attention so much to masculine and feminine nouns. That's why German was so hard for me. I can understand why things like die Frau or der Mann have their respectable gender nouns, but why is something like der Wagen male? I had the same problem with Spanish, too much frustration.
They are right in the fact that both Spanish and Japanese use the "rolling r" sound rather than saying it like "aaahheerr". Some sentence structures are eerily similar too. Anything else I fail to see similar lol.
And don't forget about "das"Kaede said:
Why can't things that are obviously male and things that are obviously female me marked with gendered nouns, with everything else being the third one. It would make my life so much easier.GrandStarGalaxy said:And don't forget about "das"Kaede said:
Yeah, nearly all languages that have gender nouns don't have a "neutral" noun either. I guess Germans like to make things really complicated, lol.

As a Spanish speaker, German has actually confused me some times too. Some male words in Spanish are changed to female in German, and vice versa. Then there's neutral, something that doesn't exist in Spanish...

I think German is the only major non-Romance language that has neutral nouns. Some people have told me that it makes the organization of nouns more interesting (like how certain objects don't have a gender because they're inanimate), but this rule is largely ignored. You can actually say "das Wagen" in some regions like Berlin, but like everything else it's not recommended.
It's not like Japanese where there's only honorific male/female titles, like "-san" for neutral; "-kun" for young male; "-chan" for young woman, etc.

tbh that and the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, are the only two things ill remember from science when i grow up.
I know somebody who memorized the entire animal classification system 4 years ago and still has most of it memorized. I memorized it as well and I don't remember any of it at all.ImpaDude said:
My Chemistry class was HELL... our teacher/professor made lots of bullsh*t up and he was so biased towards the students who don't study as hard, and called the top students all "tryhards" and tried to lower our grade as easily as he could. Still ended up with 90% tho
Any Math class involving Geometry is just annoying. I like numbers, but keep the shapes out of Math please
It's funny that you used "X3" in your post because you could reverse that to make 3X which could then be stuck into an algebra problem: 2(3X+6)-63=25Kaede said:

I'm taking Algebra I (Honors) and it's a bit hard. Our teacher makes it impossible to get As in our class. If I were to translate our grades to a letter grade, I'd get a B.
ELA/English is also hard. Whenever I write, I get soooooo many corrections but I got a B+ average last trimester.
Science and Social Studies/History are pretty easy, though I'm not as pleased that my social studies teacher is making me take World History II Honors.
French is the easiest class, and my teacher slacks off. I'm skipping French II to go to III with juniors...gulp
Probably Intense Reading. Those Acheive articles are making my grades die slowly.
