I was highly amused when an American told me he wanted to be more worldly by leaning languages and listed Irish as one of them. I know there's a few words that's different, but it still sounded funny.
EDIT: Okay so he probably meant Irish Gaelic, but then say Irish Gaelic. You'd be surprised by how little I know about languages so it helps to be specific. ;)

There actually are many relations between the US and Latin America. For one example many people from Latin America immigrate here, and in some parts of the US Spanish is unavoidable.

Why Spanish is so important in the US if there are not so much relations between them and Latin America?

Also, to Scandinavians: the linguistic situation in Ireland is about like what Finland would be like if almost all Finns had actually switched to speaking Swedish, and were forced to study Finnish in school!

@namur "please try not to stereotype"? You do realise the entire point of Scandinavia and the World is to make fun of stereotypes, right? Telling Humon not to stereotype is basically like telling her to stop making this webcomic all together since all the characters are national stereotypes.

You should make a little person to represent the people in America that speak Spanish like you did with little Fennoswede.
And since the sex of the parents depends upon who is living in the mother's country (Fennoswede is Sister Finland's and Sweden's son, and Scania is Sister Sweden's and Denmark's son), I guess it would be Brother Mexico and Sister America's son/daughter. This could be the source for some amusing drama involving America.
Only problem is that there's no Hispanic American flag, like there is for black Americans.

No, America meant English with an Irish accent. He'd say the same thing about the Irish language as he does about Spanish... and moreover, be gobsmacked that it even exists.

Spanish is quite easy to grasp. I'd say Mandarin is much, much harder.
