Language lesson course help

[psbfan9]

To help with my job search, I decided to learn Spanish. I speak a little Spanish but I understand more hearing it. If that makes sense.

I got a Hugo 'Spanish In 3 Months' language course, only to find that it's based on the Spanish of Spain, not Latin American/Mexican Spanish. The best way to describe it is to say it's like the difference between American English and the Queen's English.

My question is, has anyone here used a language cd course? Any thoughts would be much appreciated as a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

The reviews for Rosetta Stone are horrible. I'm going to use what I have, but if anyone has a suggestion I'll try it as well.

Thanks!

Move to Miami.

That should help.

I actually have rosette stone Spanish but I haven't have a ton of time to sit down and use it. I will say that one if the nice things about it is that you can out it on your smart phone and practice anytime.

There's also Fluenz, which gets pretty good reviews and based on the reviews many people prefer it to rosette stone.

Man, you really really want to get that job at Chipotle, don't you?

Man, I just want a job.

The only thing worse than working is not working.

Best way to learn a language is like how you learned English. Rosetta Stone is great for that, but you must practice daily!

Either your jobs are awesome, or you just don't know what to do with your free time.



Yes, yes...I get it. No money is worse than having money.

I haven't tried Fluenz but I'm thinking about buying it

Your first point is way more on the mark than you might think.

Your second point isn't as accurate as one would expect. I worked steady for over a year and in Mass that gets you out of the 'no money' category. I mean it's not as much money as YAA seemingly has to blow on anything but a wedding ring but it's not 'no money'.

What's a wedding ring? Shhhhhhhhh she might hear you

I, on the other hand, can do nothing and be perfectly content. It's a gift.

Seriously, though, there's so much to do in this world that folks who always feel like they need to be doing "something" (which, sitting on your a** technically is ) should be able to find something to do. Volunteer, help out with Habitat for Humanity, install surveillance cameras and become "that guy"...so many options.

Your second point isn't as accurate as one would expect.

I wasn't saying that you have no money . You clearly have some given your buying habits. I actually meant not having money, or rather, not having enough resources that someone is now in the position to not have the necessities of life without great hardship (food, shelter, clothing). I was acknowledging that, while I can make light of not having a job, it is a true source of hardship and stress for many people.

By money I meant income ... not so much savings but ... what was I gonna say? Well, it was gonna be good but I'm almost done throwing a coat of color on every wall needing it in here. I just needed to paint by the computer and I gotta make like a normal semi intelligent post about remotes and my MP-3 player sh!t the bed. I loaded a CD onto it made by iTunes and it was dead within an hour or so. When I say I don't know I mean I know I don't know but sometimes I just don't know.

... and I gotta work on my truck. It's warm today ... and tomorrow.
