So my work place hired a few mexicans for temp and im working with one. The guy doesnt know english to well so I figured now might be a good time to learn a little spanish. DAMN IT! AND I THOUGHT FRENCH WAS THE WAY TO GO BACK IN HS!:roll2: Anyways, anyone ever use “Spanish for dummies” or The “Rosetta Stone” Theres a HUGE price difference. $25 vs $250ish+ Im not going to Mexico so I dont eed to speak it “well” just want to be able to carry somewhat of a conversation. . . . I bet the Rosetta Stone can be down loaded hmmmm ---

Rosetta stone can be found on demonoid…oh that’s right it’s been totally down for weeks now. ☹ PM me if you’re interested in RS. I’ve heard mixed reviews and have never tried it myself other than to verify the app. I believe I have the Arabic pack as well. SRSLY, I wanted to be able to tell if there was any funny biz going on in Lackawanna. Be like a superhero n shit. OK, the superhero part is a joke. 😉 LMAO Blue…I’m with you and the guys that say this is America and to work here you speaka da englaise! ---

Rosetta Stone is pretty good. I am learning Portuguese in my spare time for my trip to Brazil next year. I like it becuase you cant learn a language my reading. You need to hear it and get used to the dialect. My goal to learn it pisses me off about America. I go to a different country like Mexico or Brazil on vacation and I wanna learn their language enough to understand some things. People come here to work and cant learn anything. ---

oh come on boxxa, America’s have about the worst reputation in the world for going to other countries / cultures and refusing to even slightly adapt. ---

I was looking into moving to Ottawa for a while, it is probably the most French speaking city in Canada outside of Quebec. I know some French, enough to get by day to day, but I wasn’t about to move there and get a job without being absolutely fluent… ---

Try to get your work to pay for Rosetta. They must have some extra cash laying around from paying the mexicans under the table. ---

$250 is too expensive for you? WTF. EDIT: On that note, how hard is it to learn 2 language’s at once? I plan on learning some German before I go to Germany next year. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/learning-spanish-what-would-you-do/74166.md?page=2)
