That guy is fuckin ballin' as hell :lol

I've heard various comics do this type of thing (Carlin I think), but the flip cards were a nice tool.

102? Gad damn!
 
This man is my IDOL!

Isn't English like the hardest 2nd language to learn or something? My English teacher told me that in college... as my native tongue its easier I suppose, but not even every English speaking country (for native English speakers) uses the same fucking grammar and spelling >.<
 
Man I hope I live to be 103. I'd be all like "Sheeit. I remember when Clinton had sex with Lewinsky." And all the kids would be like "LOL you so crazy." and I'd be like "Yea."

...

I would say it's one of the harder languages to gain a strong proficiency in, but as far as constructing basic sentences to make yourself understood, it's far easier. No gender, no awkward cases to fuss with, just plug words into the right part of the sentence and you're good to go. You won't sound eloquent, but English speakers tend to be more forgiving than some other native speakers, I've noticed. :-P
 
I really wish John McCain would stick to the issues instead of running these negative attack ads.

Just watched the second one. It left out my favorite bit from that piece, when he's being taught the words "big" and "little". He's like, what the hell? "Little" is twice as big as "big"?!

In my experience, English is among the easiest languages to learn to speak due to the simplicity of its grammatical rules, if not the orthographical ones. Coming from a language were phonetics dictate spelling (Spanish) it does become a nuisance to deal with the latter, but it's not that big of a problem to hinder communication between a student and a native speaker.
