yeah but my problem is understanding basic spanish, AND understanding 1000 words per minute spanish when panamanians are talking in a group is something else..

some of the americans i know here have been learning spanish for 3-4yrs and they still dont wanna hang out in a group of latinos cuz they feel lost...

personally for me thats not life... understanding how to use me gusta is completely different from using humor, sarcasm, etc in a different language.. itll take me years to get there.. not willing to lose those many years at this point...
