learning a new language

[Griff]

I took Spanish in college after evading it in high school. It was tough but you really can just jump in at the college level since the advanced students will test out of the intro course. I made the mistake of going to a cowtown college so immersion in spanish culture wasn't gonna happen. Outside of the Puerto Rican girl I tutored in history I really had no real world foreign language experience. I assume it will lie dormant unless I move to latin america. My brother was a terrible language student but by living in various countries over the years he's now bilingual (Spanish) and wouldn't starve in Turkey. He could probably teach a course in spanish language differences, which comes in handy teaching in California. Advice: Go for it! Seek out chances to use it though, otherwise it won't be readily available when you need it.
