One of the hardest things to master in a second language is humor because it usually requires not just comprehension of grammar, vocabulary, and verb conjugation, but it also requires an understanding of idioms, culture, and small nuances in a language. Understanding and using humor in a second language is a serious skill. So, it is with great pride, that I present to you the first joke I made up in the Spanish language:
Q: Que hace el pez perezoso? (what does the lazy fish do?)
A: "Nada." (nada means both nothing and he swims)
I know it's ridiculously corny and it probably isn't even original, but I don't really care. I made a joke in Spanish and that's pretty. darn. awesome.
