i love seeing foolish's process of learning spanish. it's like he's trying to rebuild the language itself from the ground up as he goes. like, he doesn't want to know that X means Y and be done with it, he needs the history of the latin alphabet, a phonetics lesson on all possible pronunciations of X, and an explanation for why people decided that it comes after W. his approach to spanish seems to carry an underlying hope that he'll be able to logic a thousand-year old romance language into becoming, like, a balto-slavic toki pona. this guy is trying to min-max the tower of babel, i want to study him in a lab.
