My god, most languages have the TRA sound How can Americans learn Spanish, for instance???

Because learning any 'real' language, even if it be 'civilized' English, would bring culture to the US for a change.

I speak some Slovak, it's been very useful with Slovak ladies when I was younger. Slovak womankind is hot.

The reason for learning Slovak?

"Mňa kedys' zvádzal svet mi hovoriac, reč, ktorú z domu vieš ó jak je lichá." or this one is even better: "Kto zapríčinil tento úpadok, zosurovenie, zdivočenie mravov, čo ľudstvo zviedlo z ducha veličavov vbŕsť do bahna...."
You cannot say it in any other language. Each language has some specifics and some poems are better in one and some in other language. I read the same poems in 6 other languages and each of the poems sound best in certain language.
