    Lessons 1-5 looks like. Just searching on Craigslist.

    Rumor has it that you can find the language packs on those evil file sharing sites. I cannot confirm this however, as I never have visited one...

    Cerveza = Beer
    comida = food
    beso = kiss

    Really, what else do you need to know?

    In my travels abroad, I've found these phrases handy:

    Where is the bathroom?
    There is no hot water.
    When do you suppose the train will really leave?
    Enough. Get away from me.
    No, I didn't touch her.
    Would you mind cuffing me in front?



    Things like that...

    Baño = bathroom
    caliente = hot (for you single fellas out there)
    ¿dónde está el burro mostrar? = Where is the donkey show? (Use at your own risk)
    ¿dónde está la biblioteca? = Where is the library?
    Tu casa es muy bueno = you have a very nice house
    And of course, for those border crossing situations:
    No tengo armas de fuego para delcare = I have no firearms to declare
    coño =

    I took 6 years of Spanish in middle/high school. It's all still in my brain somewhere. If I'm in a Spanish speaking environment, it usually comes back to me pretty quick. At least enough to convey my thoughts.

    Rosetta Stone seems to be the big language learner these days. Unless you want to enroll in High School again. You could actually probably find classes at the local community college if you prefer hands on versus online.

    Order a beer: Quiero mas cerveza fria, por favor!

    Find the bathroom: Donde esta el bano?

    Start a fight : Tu madre es una puta grande y gordo!

    Livemocha it's free and interactive.
    El aprendizaje de una segunda lengua es grande, proporcionándole lo usa. En English Learning a second language is great, providing you use it.

    the little i know helps when ordering food, asking directions, and understanding the guy on the left would rather knife you here, than around the corner.
    Learning Lakota Souix, has been a challenge. Them folks use descriptions in their structure like the japanese... How's your family? The creator has blessed us this fine day with dry shoes and full bellies.

    Does it bother me that if i were to relocate i would be expected to understand their language, of course. However i find it never hurts to have an extra ace in your hand, or a gun
