Re: [Marxism] Spanish



Hey, I learned French at the age of 58-- I speak it with my US accent. And
I always will. Doesn't stop the French from understanding me, or me from
understanding them-- doesn't stop them either from correcting my
pronunciation, and me from saying thank you for the correction-- which goes
miles with the French in showing them you're not a barbarian.

Learning it was pretty damn difficult, brought me to tears [metaphorically]
a couple of times.

I think CLR James learned Spanish when he was around 70.
