In Response To: Re: Learning Spanish *LINK* (Bruce)

Bruce - thanks. I looked at it. 200 hours of instruction. I have a little $2.98 calculator from Walgreens I keep by the computer, and did a quick tally of 200 hours at my modest lawyer hourly rate and I can afford to buy a large slice of Panama rather than learn Spanish. Think I'll rely on Randall to smile and point, and do like Andre' and shake my hand in a "clear" fashion.

Me & the Bride were in eastern Europe one time at a restaurant and no one spoke English. We looked at the menu and no dice. The waiter came over and nodded. I pointed to the dish he had just delivered to the next table and shrugged my shoulders and raised my eyebrows in the international "?" sign. He looked over at what he had delivered to the other table and said in clear English "you don't want that shit".
