If the Confederate States existed today, would they have cartel problem?

I started to learn about American history, and now I am on the civil war chapter and I almost finished it. But I had a question for a long moment since I learned it, would the Confederate States have cartel issues if they existed today? I mean, they are literally opened to Mexico, and I'll hardly believe they would survey the borders 24/7 like the USA.

Spanish or German?

Hi, I'm Ensakel. I am in a professional high-school and in one year I will graduate to the 3rd year.

I speak French, B1 English, and A2 Albanian.

In school, for my first two years, I choose to learn English even though I already speak it, because why not.

But now, I regret my choice as I have to learn one of the two languages for my future professional activities (job).

I am already learning German on Duolingo, but Spanish is just far more closer to French than German coud ever be.

I plan to move to a city next to Germany for working opportunities, but in France Spanish is somehow important to learn.

I also wanted VERY MUCH to learn Spanish when I was in primary school, but back there, there wasn't any Spanish teacher (same for middle-school).

However, just this year, a new Spanish teacher came to our school, and it is also why I start wondering if I should chose Spanish over German.

I really don't know which language I should pick, so that's why I took my time asking this on this sub.

Does anyone know a similar song to this one?

So I was listening to this song (*Ar chas doñv 'yelo da ouez*) and I don't know why but I feel like I've already heard that part somewhere. Does anyone knows a song which have a similar rhythm or am I just wrong?

The artist's name is Alan Stivell, the song is named Ar chas doñv 'yelo da ouez and it was released in 1976 (this one is a cover). It is a single and is not a part of an Album.

Here's the full song if you wanna listen to more:

[TOMT] Does anyone recognise this match?

It was when I was a little. On a screen, I was looking at some old football video because I loved the way old football seemed more genuine to me. I clicked on a video that was kinda short, I don't remember how long but it was less than a minute. The video started with a clear foul, then I don't remember exactly what happened, it was either a free kick or a fight. Suddenly, a player with a red jersey runned towards a rival player. He puts his hand inside his short and take out something we couldn't see on the camera. The camera changed angle, and suddenly, he cut the throat of this player, and blood came out. The stadium suddenly became silent, and he runs towards one of his teammates, before the video stops.

I don't have a lot of memories of what happened exactly, but I'll try my best to reply to all your questions if you want to help me find it.

Io vole apprender le Anglese

Hello! I am Euskel, and I slept too much today, so I can't sleep now. Since it's midnight, everything is closed, so now I'm bored.

However, I just started to watch the stream of Corrin Gorri, and now I want to learn Anglese. Since I speak French and English, I believe it would be easy to learn this language.

I want to speak the language fluently, and be a part of this community.

But I have a big question: Where can I learn it? Is it on a website? Videos on YouTube? Or directly here?

We are basically speaking French and just pretending it's English.

​I just realized how many "English" words are just French in a trench coat. Dinner, table, marriage, grand, certain, simple—they're all French. We even just copied basically sentences. Je ne sais quoi, c'est la vie, déjà vue—still French.

​I tried making a sentence with every words I know: "Pardon, quoi? Damsel, je sais that vous love clichés et marriage, but c’est just bizarre."

​Isn't it fascinating? We can make a sentence in French and it will be considered as English, but where is the limit? Can we write a 100% English sentence that a French person would understand perfectly without knowing English? Give me your best "French-English" sentences!
