	In a two-year high school language class one can expect to learn some basic practical vocabulary (mainly based around school, business and travel), and some basic to intermediate grammar such as word order and a few verb tenses. Chris in his infinite wisdom has come away with even less than those rock bottom expectations. Of course contemporary examples may be unfair as it has been decades since high school but even [[Manchester High Leaks\|samples]] we have of the height of his Spanish studies betray a tenuous understanding of the present simple tense as the farthest he can communicate.

	A common pitfall of language learners is the "false cognate", a word that seems similar to a word in your own language but has a completely different meaning. A well known example is the Spanish word ''embarazada'' which resembles "embarrassed" but actually means "pregnant". Or ''excitado'' which seems to mean excited but actually translates to "horny". Ordinarily one would expect a torrent of [[Laughs Under Lucricities\|lulz]] from chris in this regard but tragically his Spanish is so ''~~pessimo~~'' as to completely avoid making understandable slip-ups and makes exclusively ''incomprehensible'' mistakes like "tres muchaco" or "me le amo".

Upon returning to making videos in [[2023]], Chris would call himself "[[Jesus]] Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu," usually pronouncing Jesus as Jesús (heh-SOOS), the Spanish way, in addition to saying Christine like "Christ"-ine. This brought a Spanish name, in this case the very common ''Jesús'', back to his signature. Chris would defend his choice for a little while, but eventually began pronouncing "Jesus" normally not long after.
