A/N: Ok, So I DEFINITELY haven't updated often enough, at least not lately. So this idea came to me when I was studying my Italian earlier. Do you realize how hard it can be to learn a new romance language when you've already been studying one for four years? Oh, sure, it sounds easy. But NOPE! It can TOTALLY screw you over. I'm taking a short block (45 minute) Italian class this year, after taking four years of French. It is absolutely INSANE how easy it is to screw the two up. I even mix it up with Spanish! I don't even know Spanish! GAH! Anyway, TL;DR, learning one language off of another is harder than it sounds. Soooo, onto the next.

Prompt: Romance Languages
Nothing was more freaking FRUSTRATING than trying to learn one romance language off of another...
"Ok, for the last time, try again..."
"Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette, otto, nueve...GAH DAMMIT!! I can't do it!!"
"Come on, Goten, it's really not that hard!! You need to use the Spanish to help you memorize the numbers, without forgetting what you're doing."
"Not that hard?!? You're the one that was born into the language! Easy for you to say! I'm learning it off of another. Every other component of this language comes so easy to me, but nooooo the numbers have to screw me over! Well that's it, I GIVE UP!"
"Don't give up...you're really not doing that terribly. Just THINK about what you're doing. Think before you speak."
"Ok, ok...uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette, otto, nove, diese...DAMN!"
"Come on! You almost had it this time..."
"No, I didn't, you want me to get to 20, and I can't even get to 10 without fucking it all up! Romance languages, my ass, they sound like a bunch of bullshit."
"Just try, one more time. Don't give up..."
"Why shouldn't I give up?"
A kiss.
"Maybe I could try just one more time..."
