U.S Spanish teacher really do think it’s that deep.

Pork k?

Only wankers use “vosotros”, hostia chavales ff7.

I don't get it.

My teacher definitely taught us Nosotros and vosotros. Never was weird about it. Was it because he was from Spain?

My Spanish teacher had a small poster with Vosotros in a red crossed out circle lol

U S. person here. Our "Spanish" teachers would never teach that conjunction because they were teaching Mexican Spanish. It was only after Bad Bunny's super bowl show that I became aware of the divide between Spanish that uses it and Spanish that doesn't.

My Spanish teachers hated the vosotros form of the verb. They said never to use it. I live along the border with Mexico and in 45 years, I have never heard it used ever.

Really took me back

It was the opposite situation in my school. I went to a small school run by this ancient order of nuns from Madrid and they insisted on us learning it. They also went out of their way to have us use Spanish editions of various books.

When I moved to the US, I took AP Spanish to pad my GPA and the teacher’s Spanish was not the kind the Real Academia would approve and me and her would get into arguments about the language. She had more knowledge of literature and introduced me to Borges, but to be honest, her Spanish, even though she was a native speaker AND had a degree in the language was a bit too informal. I was more in agreement with the nun from my school: we should teach proper Spanish.

I’ve almost never use the tense. The only times probably to show outrage ironically. Even when I’m in Spain I don’t use it because accent gives me away.

My take is that many US HS Spanish teachers aren’t familiar with conjugating vosotros, specially in the trickier tenses.

It's funny because the same thing happens in portuguese.

And Portuguese folks get maaaaaad as fuck. Hahaha.
