Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

I took three years of Spanish before they changed the teacherThe new guy was a complete airhead, and forced us to watch "Las Ketchup" on repeat, thinking this was suitable philological education. Now I'm a year and a half into Russian, and am leaving for Ukraine in a week.
Do you speak any other languages? Did you ever give up learning a new one, if so, why? Have you had any funny/embarrassing exchanges while attempting to speak to a native speaker?
