:( That's sad. But I realised guys who cook actually cook better than the gals! :flower: That's my observation.

I noticed that too...I think it could be because fewer men cook, so those who do have a passion for it, while at the same time many women (and I think it's fully understandable, btw) see cooking as a "relic of the past", like: "hey, I ain't no 50s woman, I don't want to cook"...:p
 
well, we were just discussing italian food here .. :chef: and some french qui's and que's :wacko:
 
^ We've been stealing Mundo's food. :lol:

True, true. But I love cooking and I ain't no relic of the past! ^_^

I still cannot get how sentences in Spanish are all topsy turvy when compared to English. Trying to read stuff in Spanish but it doesn't make sense until I read the English translation and I'm like.... "oooohhhh....."

The secret to learning a language is to turn off the urge to translate, don't think of spanish as it relates to english, you have to internalize it and just forget about the english part all together! :p
 
^^:lol:
That's what I was told but it's so hard not to translate. I try to read it in Spanish first but my grasp of it is so poor, most of the sentences don't make sense so I need to go back to translating. Sometimes I think I cheat. For example, someone gave me a kid's Bible in Spanish :blush: and I only understand it because I already know the contents! :p

That's absolutely normal, it's always like that in the first stage of learning a language...the second stage begins when one starts interiorising...;)
And by the way then it becomes simpler to speak, 'cause phrases and expressions come natural without needing to translate every single word...:flower:

p.s.
The contracted form is in the very used:

"Qu'est-ce que c'est ça?"

;)

:lol: at all the nutty-ness in this thread!

Would it be majorly bad and wrong if I didn't use the contracted form?:ninja:
