Learning a second language?

[bearintex]

Rosetta stone still the easiest way? I spend 6+hours a day in my truck for work, might as well make it productive. Anyone have a Spanish copy they want to get rid of?

"No". I said that in Spanish

[bearintex]

That's about the extent of my Spanish as well. That and "uno mas cerveza por favor!"

I took 3 years in high school and played around with a pirated copy of Rosetta stone a few years ago. Rosetta stone is a really good program if you have the time to invest in it. After talking to several folks I work with who English is a second language, they all highly recommended Rosetta stone also. I would own a copy if I had the time to invest and it wasn't so danged expensive! If you are serious and have the time/money to invest, I'd say go for it. I am in no way fluent or even close, but If I was in a bind, I could at least communicate the basics and have had to on several occasions even if it was as simple as "donde esta el bano!" (really important in a time of need!)

Careful. If you get good at Speaking Spanish, there are several on this site that might try and deport you.

I've been trying to learn my "Wife's" secret language for years. Have yet to understand if what I thought I heard her say is what she actually meant or did it mean just the opposite of what she said.

Like you, I used to spend lots of time in my truck and now realize I should have been learning Spanish. I learned enough German to do just fine while in the Army, and last summer we went back for a vacation trip. Amazingly enough, even though it had been 25+ years I was still able to communicate effectively.

Some folks' ability to learn a new language amaze me---we have friends here now who live overseas. Dad speaks Spanish fluently (grew up in South America) and Russian as well due to where they now live. Another friend is a native Spanish speaker, but also speaks French and Hebrew, as well as English.

I say go for it.

I also use the Duolingo app as a supplement. I am taking Spanish again now after taking it nearly 30 years ago in junior high.

If you only speak Spanish our government will give you many incentives
