This coming October, it will be 3 years since I've had a drink and when I hear of something like this, I never regret my decision...

Ive got to learn Spanish anyone ever used rosetta stone or anything like that. This jobs getting too hard without it. I can do basic stuff but beyond name address phone # date of birth im stuck. I don't wanna drop 400 bucks on a program if its junk

It does work, but you get a lot of the same stuff from cheaper sources.
Berlitz has been in the business for a long time! I think I saw their program for like 40 or 50 bucks (I am cheap, so I didn't get it)
Rosetta Stone has for some people some serious drawbacks. I am guessing your boss isn't inclined to buy it for the shop....
What I had good success with (not in Spanish) was Instant Immersion CDs. I can still remember some phrases even though I had neither listened to the program nor hardly any Japanese in years.
Inu oni hikekatemas...it's a lie, since I own three cats, not two dogs
Works well when you can pop it in the car stereo. Nobody to judge you there - unless of course you got tome cargo in the back seat
There should be some classes at the college though as well.

Berlitz I'll need to look them up when I get home. The department was going to get some classes but there wasn't enough interest. Everyone wanted to get OT for taking the classes

No I clicked the buy it button for the CDs. Went to check out saw that price and had a mini heart attack. For that price I could hire an 8 yr old to ride around all day and translate for me.

I feel like such a pansy..... over 40 years of training MA and over 30 using a heavy bag and not once have I used gloves to hit the bag, always fists....Heck I use to use trees to train Sanda palm strikes with no gloves……well I have not been hitting the bag much for well over a year because it bothered my knees.... about 2 weeks ago I found I could hit the bag again so I started doing Xingyiquan Wuxingquan strikes….and…my hands and fists hurt…. I could handle about 3 hits per side per element (30 strikes) on the bag and I had to stop because my hands hurt to much…..so yesterday I broke down and went and bought so Everlast MMA grappling gloves…Yesterday I got in 8 per side for 5 elements (80 strikes) and my hands felt fine…It is not much compared to what I use to do….but it’s a start….but I still feel like a big pansy

for a long time, too...(man, dream job for a kid!)
That's how I get by now. Luckily people from the same Culture for the most part tend to move to the same areas so I find a kid and they help me but that gets awkward some times. Especially when the language gets more of the adult variety.
