Icon directed not at you. It's directed toward language bullies and mockers. I only speak English, trying to learn Spanish, but inhibited by my memories of language bullies and mockers, esp. my high school French teacher.

My biggest regret from h.s. is not turning her in for her bullying ways. 2nd day of French I, she asked me if I was deaf b/c I wasn't saying the words right and it went down from there.

Adults esp. shouldn't make fun of teenagers trying to learn another language. I admire others who do speak another language and I want to be one of them but I don't know if I ever will....those memories affect me even now since I expect Spanish native speakers to jump down my throat for not saying it. I can't even bring myself to try to speak the language to even my Spanish speaking next door neighbor (I get very anxious, almost panic attack-y thinking about it), who is very nice so far although I don't mind being corrected about my pronunciation, grammar (my Spanish teachers so far are very nice this way although a couple of the native students not so much), whatever as long as it done nicely, ie. not mocking me for it.

Sorry you had such crappy experiences. Teachers like that need to be fired.
