The delay and imperfections would mean you communicate less than half the speed you would if you spoke the language natively. That's going to get annoying quickly.

- lukeschlather 16y agoAlmost ready. You're looking for "Mis zapatos están en la bibliotéca." Or maybe Mi zapatos is fine, the z might negate the s in mis.
- kenjackson 16y agoDude, it was just four years of Spanish... I can't be expected to speak as well as a toddler!
- lemming 16y agoNo, you want "mis zapatos".
