Sometimes I like to Facebook in my third or fourth language

I learned and remembered a few things about the foreign language I used to study through Facebook en Español. (The site runs in at least 15 different languages—the option is at the bottom of the page.)

You use the definitive article when referring to the days of the week. I would have used en instead of el, as if I were saying “in Wednesday.”

Even though el libro de cara knows that I’m una mujer, it can’t figure out for sure that that would make me una Graduada.

In Spanish, you don’t just have a political stance, you have a political posture.

The Facebook link to “View photos of me” is apparently not a command, as the verb is not conjugated in the imperative tense.

Fascinante, ¿no?

How aburrido was your Sunday?
