Today, I watched a movie with my little sister. I couldn't understand a word that was said during one scene, but I figured it was in some kind of made-up language. When I commented on it later, she called me a moron and said it was Spanish. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my sister told me about her upcoming trip to Mexico. I asked her how she was going to do anything without knowing any Spanish. She told me she's "just going to read their lips". FML
Today, I was talking to a smokin' hot Cuban sorority girl. She told me her mom only speaks Spanish, so she translates for her. Without thinking I said, "Oh like Chewbacca and Han Solo?" FML
Today, we watched a movie in French class. I went on a French exchange last year, so I wanted to sound all impressive and cultured for my crush who is in the same class. I said that it was my favorite movie and I couldn't wait to watch it with everyone. The movie turned out to be about incest. FML
Today, in my film class, we were watching Schindler's List. At least, we tried. The moron next to me kept interrupting the most intense scenes with a very loud, "I don't get it." Not only did she break the focus of the class, but we had to keep stopping the movie to explain it to her. FML
Today, my girlfriend's grandparents walked in on us getting intimate. She immediately ran to the bathroom, leaving me alone with them. They only speak Spanish, which is not my first language. We discussed the movie she and I were "watching", all while I was naked under the sheets. FML
Today, I was unable to communicate with a customer who only spoke French. As a result, my boss called me a "monolingual idiot." I speak Spanish, German, and Japanese. FML
Today, I was at a mall. A woman stopped by me, said slowly and loudly, in Spanish "baño?" Knowing a bit of Spanish, I nodded and pointed the restrooms out for her. She then mutters about "dang Mexicans and their inability to speak English". I'm not even Latina. I'm Irish-American. FML
Today, my college did a fire drill, and instructions were given by intercom in English and Spanish. The guy beside me mused, "If they say it in English and Mexican, why not say it in Black too?" That guy is my idiot brother, and he was dead serious. Sometimes I think our parents are related. FML
Today, my Spanish teacher imitated the sound of a coffee grinder, and then said in Spanish, "OK, all of you do it." I did it, thinking everyone else would too. I was the only one in the class who'd understood the Spanish part. FML
Today, a man kept talking and laughing like an idiot all through the movie I was watching. I thought he was high, so I called him a moron and told him to shut the hell up. It turned out he wasn't high. He was just "special". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

152... I'm like 90% sure you're wrong. I'm Asian, but I speak like 5 words of Korean. Being a race doesn't make you speak the language. Tu idiota doesn't mean 'idiot you'...

Wait.. Are you saying Spanish isn't just made up jibberish?
soccerguy2 11

kakarot2 11
It is actually better.

It's spellt like ingles but said way different.
CaptTeemo 10
English and Spanish aren't really that close... Hence the different language part
damianf60 7
Gibberish only to people who don't understand it
wellnevermind 4
The fact that you can't understand Spanish, doesn't make it "gibberish". You should respect and by the way, Spanish is the top 5 widely spoken languages. Yep, you may now shut up.

104, actually Spanish and English are pretty close to each other. Obviously not close enough to be the same language, but if you were to learn Spanish you'd notice that a large amount of words were cognates (Words that are similar in one language to another)

You guys are taking me WAY too seriously.

That's why they both have origins in Latin for most part of vocabulary. But that doesn't make them similar. And they are not

I lived in California for a while. I didn't go a day without hearing Spanish from random people. I'm not sure how you can not even recognize it as a real language even if you don't understand it.
vocaloidtiger 12
If you've never heard Spanish before, you obviously don't live in California.. .. Wait .. How .. LOLQUE?

#64 - Yeah, I try to be helpful when I can. Nice to know someone actually bothered to look at my profile.

Two people read your profile. I only read it because the other person did though, so I guess that makes me a sheep. baaa
