In Spanish, Google! Or should I say Español?

 Sometimes, I speak into Google translate instead of typing. The results can be hilarious.


"Deponian" became "The Punisher" and I have no idea how!

And this was only middle of the road as far as crazy results go! I thought I screenshotted a bunch to show Carrie, but this was the best of the bunch I had!

I know my pronunciation isn't perfect, but it's funny how far off the rails Google thinks it can be!

To improve my listening comprehension, it occurred to me that I could listen to some Spanish YouTubers. 

Of course, I soon figured out typing "Spanish" in YouTube didn't lead me to videos in Spanish. YouTube detected an English speaker since I didn't use "espanol." I got lots of videos on learning Spanish or talking about the language itself.

Searching with Spanish words (palabras en espanol) got better results. I found a guy named Kira-Sensei who lives in Japan, so that got to let me hear Spanish for me and learn about Japan for Shane!
