Dovahkiin has done some whoring, apparently he's still having trouble learning English. How difficult is it to learn English if you grow up speaking Spanish and know (I assume) your was round Italian as well? There's a lot of similarities.
I used to speak Spanish (badly) but found I could read Italian (badly) without too much difficulty - the languages are very similar being based on Latin, much closer than French or Portugese.
English on the other hand is a very different language to learn - not a lot of similarity with Spanish.
I'm told its (relatively) easy to speak English badly, but a lot more difficult than many other languages to speak well as we have more irregular verbs and several words meaning similar things (often a result of having the vikings ruling half England a thousand years ago) meaning we have many more words in common use than many other languages.
So I could sympathise with Lamela - but either he learns some English or will need to move on unfortunately - if AVB as a Spanish speaker found he couldn't make it work...its a problem
