I've been lying to you all. I'm sorry.

Question

This was an April fool's joke. Don't worry, my Spanish is truly awful.

The truth is, I'm fluent in Spanish. My mother is Spanish and I was raised speaking both languages.

I guess I just enjoyed the attention I got from pretending to be learning, and putting on a fake accent and being praised for writing simple sentences.

I'm really sorry for all the time I've wasted. I know you can't ever forgive me.

I just want to say one more thing, I know for a fact I am not the only person here to do this. I urge the others to come forward now, and stop living a lie!

I knew you had very good ears. ;-) - 00d7cd75, Apr 1, 2011

Answer 6

Bunny, I have hispanics in my Spanish class and many simply do not know the grammar of their language. I think you can be honest and simply ask questions as I do . I admit even as a teacher with a master,s degree in Spanish I still am learning.

Answer 8

Honesty is the best policy, whether this is true or an April Fool's joke.

If you are indeed bilingual, perhaps you could get more involved as a moderator of threads.

I just sent "Bunny" a PM asking for help - let's see what she replies. - ian-hill, Apr 1, 2011

I've resolved that I'm not going to believe A N Y T H I N G on this site today :) - pesta, Apr 1, 2011

Answer 9

Well Rabbit, thank you for being honest with us You did seem too good to be true for a beginner lol I hope this is not an April fool since it is long gone 12 midday lol

Thanks for letting us know I hope you can help those of us who are learning to become more proficient in speaking and writing Spanish. I am sure you didn't fool Heidi for one minute or any of the native speakers. It is no surprise that you could write/spell all the spanish words quickly during our last Skype chat.

I expect to see you doing corrections in many of the forum games and hosting/running some of the Skype chats from now on lol I will also be looking to see you change your level of Spanish in your profile to fluent

Yes, we can forgive you. I already have As a Christian Jesus expects me to. Please be straight with us from now on

I suspected a little when you got all the answers right on your first chat. Thanks for being upfront with us now. You can be a big help to all of us--I have noticed you correcting some posts. Thank you very much, Rabbit. We could use all the help we can get.

Answer 12

I am crushed. I had no idea that you were so two faced. I hope this doesn't mean that you were lying to me when you said the Easter bunny was going to visit me and give me some Bunny Love.

You'll have to wait till Easter to find out! Sorry Ron. - rabbitwho, Apr 1, 2011

Answer 13

Ah ha... that's not your fault and you shouldn't be considered "lying". We can figure out your ability to use Spanish language. Your help is much more important than your profile.
