Well speaking totally in Spanish is quite hard when we only know about 10 phrases

The notes are fine, really easy to read, thankyouuuu I'm going to copy them tomorrow so that I can practice on Ferd on Sunday

well I hope he knows how to say his name, where he lives, and what he works as otherwise you'll be stuck!

When I was studying Spanish in school, I thought the whole gender thing added a bit of difficulty.

Now, after dealing with Russian (3 genders, 8 possible endings for each, plus plural versions), I've come to think fondly of Spanish's simplicity

english is easy in some respects and difficult in others.

gender is the easy part. There is only one gender variation in the english language = blond/blonde

I thought blonde was just blonde?

I've found that people whom I've met abroad learning English have 4 main problems: articles (a, an, the), verb tenses, exceptions (we have a lot of grammar and verb rule exceptions) and spelling (we have a lot of words not spelled like they sound). The problem with articles isn't too bad for Latin language speakers because they use them too.

I did not know that about blond/blonde (always thought it was one of those US/UK spelling differences like theatre/theater)

the biggest problems with learning english are 1) the number of words our language has in active usage.........varies but at least 50% more than second most (german) and well over double third most (french) and 2) the pronunciation of english words follows very flimsy rules and irregularities are often the norm rather than the exception.
