Call Me Maybe and This Kiss are nothing alike, that's what the problem was.
Carly had too much artistic integrity to follow up her mainstream breakthrough smash with a facsimile for a quick second hit. She might be young, but she ain't stupid.

Sabía que eras alemán.
Do you like Spanish?

Yes. I just hated my teacher this year. He was a bully.
Still love it, though. Languages are my thing, remember.

I just use 'whom' normally because it really pisses people off.
Well I always have to use the British spelling because I'm British, but centre only works in relation to places, as far as I'm aware. Like, the town centre is large, and it's in the center of London.
I also like to drop a thorn in now and again to annoy my English teacher.

If it weren't for gender roles, I'd be wearing crop tops all day. In public and at home. But alas, a male wearing a crop top is still too controversial.

Same! I want to be a translator in the future. I have to choose 3 languages, Spanish, English and idk if German or French. I like French more but I think German would be more useful.
But Spanish >>>

I hate crop tops on all people; if I had my way we'd all be covering up like we were in the Middle East or something.

French is closer to Spanish but I would say German is more useful.
Italian is great, too, but it's not a language I would do academically. Italian would be my "fun" language.

Spanish is awful. The genders are easy but the tenses are ridiculous and the words aren't interesting.

I low-key agree. Having the same word for, like, fifty different things gets annoying.

YLIMD is really overrated for me, but I still love it.
Hungover is also really overrated, it's nothing special to me. I like it, but that's it.

What?  Give examples please. And the tenses are better than every other language.
