Great. I can speak three languages now AND NONE OF THEM ARE SPANISH. Thanks, Retrospec. We're off to a great start for the school year.

(( For characters who might be able to tell: a huge chunk of this Spanish test is answered in French and Russian. And pretend the French is accurate, I just google translated it because I don't know what I'm doing lol ))

[kagepuro]

you got more correct than incorrect and they only gave you a 34!?

I think you should sue, first of all

[frostythehitman]

It's weighted. The bottom two sections are 25 points each, and the top is only 50.

[freeskies]

I needed that laugh, thank you. Votre français n'est pas bon aussi.

[frostythehitman]

Hé, tirez vous, mon français est très bien! Je ne pensais pas que je le connaissais. Et je ne pensais surtout pas que j'allais finir par me tromper sur mon test d'espagnol.

(( Translation: "Hey, screw you, my French is just fine! I just didn't think I knew any. And I especially didn't think I was gonna end up smearing it all over my Spanish test."

lmao pretend it's actually fluent and accurate, i don't know a damn bit of french i'm just regurgitating what google gives me ))

[commandertoolbelt]

yikes hermano
you could've just asked if you needed help that badly

[frostythehitman]

I was doing fine!

Or I thought I was anyway. Could've sworn I aced this test until I got it back.

[originallutece]

I'm a little shocked they didn't call you in for health-related reasons. Surely you can still change language classes?

[frostythehitman]

Nope. Just checked, all the French classes are full, and that just leaves Spanish. I'm stuck here.

Why would they call me in for health-related reasons?

อย่างน้อยฝรั่งเศสเป็นประโยชน์มากกว่าภาษาไทย

[frostythehitman]

[ alright, well. he can't do anything with that. So he just dumps it into google translate. ]

What, did Retrospec give you Thai? I thought you just knew it normally.

[browbeater]

yikes, pal...

[frostythehitman]

Yeah, I think I caught my Spanish teacher staring at me all period long in class today. I don't think she's ever seen anyone screw up a test like this before.

[godcards]

!يا بختك

[frostythehitman]

Oh wow, you know another language too! Don't you feel special.

[constellates]

jame's ??

they took your spanish !!

[anya's confused about a lot of things here]

[frostythehitman]

What? They didn't take anything. I barely knew Spanish to begin with. They just gave me a bunch of other languages instead.

[maskreant]

[ CHRIST ]

a 34 is better than a 0. baby steps. maybe Retrospec will give you Spanish eventually?

but will you still be taking a Spanish course...

[frostythehitman]

It's also way worse than an 83, which was my average in Spanish last year.

And last I checked, all the French classes were full, so I'm basically stuck here.

[meowbel]

But look on the bright side! You know 3 languages so it's not that bad!

[frostythehitman]

Yeah, great. I know three languages and I STILL somehow managed to flunk a language test. If this is the bright side, then I must be blind.

[livingdeadgirl]

what are the scribbly parts

[She can't read the Spanish or French either, but Cyrillic cursive might as well be the alien script on her Troll Indiana Jones poster.]

[frostythehitman]

Russian. I guess they don't really do their writing in print, because every time I try to write it, my hand just wants to make it cursive.

/replying in French

[scarlet_devil]

On the bright side, French is a beautiful language, no?

likewise in french!

[frostythehitman]

Whatever. It's just a language like any other.

I don't get how all the phlegmy sounds are supposed to be "beautiful" though. I didn't know sounding like you're constantly about to hock a loogie was attractive.

[windeity]

i can't tell if this is more worrying or impressive.
and anyway it does not help that french and spanish are really similar in a lot of ways.
no chance of a make-up test, huh?

[frostythehitman]

Yeah, you and me both. I know how French uses all the accent marks, how am I supposed to translate that into Spanish now?

Like she'd give me one. What excuse do I give her? "I need to retake the test because I suddenly got two other languages beamed into my brain"? Yeah right.

[rygdea]

I get that French and Russian are similar to Spanish but you definitely can't speak Spanish to save your life.

...But can I praise you for your "French" for a second? I think you have me beat.

[frostythehitman]

Tell that to my B average last year. I could speak it just fine until this.

But hey, at least there's that. Nice to know I can out-French forwards and backwards whenever I want now. Peut-être que je vais l'utiliser comme un code secret à la poubelle vous parler à votre visage.

(( Translation: Maybe I'll use it as a secret code to trash talk you to your face. ))

[youraffection]

lol
muy bein
tbh thats always how it works tho amiright

[frostythehitman]

Yeah right. I wish. If I could just wake up knowing a language totally fluently without having to work for it at all, I wouldn't have to take language classes at all.

[parodeity]

is this memory related
?

[frostythehitman]

Yeah, looks like it.

I do remember saying a few things in Russian before, but the French is all new.

[chessking]

that's russian, isn't it?

... you got back those three languages using the app?

[frostythehitman]

Apparently. I didn't know that's what it was at the time, but looking back, there's nothing else it could be.

I didn't get them back from using the app. The people running the app just beamed them into my head sometime between my last Spanish class and today.

[skald]

Aww your Russian handwriting is really cute!

Did you lose a language in exchange for these? jw

[frostythehitman]

No, I didn't. I only knew English before this and some crappy Spanish, and now I know English and French and Russian. And some crappy Spanish.

And what's so cute about my handwriting anyway?
