Title: My opinion on learning Spanish Post by: OkieMan on May 01, 2005, 04:00:00 AM Hello ladies and gentlemen- boys and girls,
I have been off the board for several days. Other than working, I have busy with finalizing my plans for my trip at the end of this month-- and I have been studying Spanish. I realize that there are different opinions on this subject. So, I will tell you my plans, and then all of you are welcome to do whatever you want about your own situation. I have read the mulitude of debates on this board, and I have come to the conclusion that there are possibly many roads to success in this "Adventure to Latina Land". But, here is what I am in the process of doing. I will be taking my second trip to Cali on May 24 thru June 2. I am trying to learn a few simple words and phrases, and I will continue to learn more. I will probably enroll in a Community College Spanish I course this fall. I have no idea when or if I will actually fall in love with a latina; but I will work on the assumption that the opportunities are there and I will pursue them. I will update you guys on my progress after I return from my trip. I make no predictions about what will happen. But, at this point, I do have a lady that I will be spending time with. After that, who knows? So, that is my two cents. I will leave you guys to debate the many points of this issue. Meanwhile, I will be studying spanish and by the end of May spending time in the sun with a beautiful latina or latinas! I will not be posting much on this board until I return. I will be too busy. Adios. OkieMan I Title: Re: My opinion on learning Spanish Post by: zack on May 02, 2005, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to My opinion on learning Spanish, posted by OkieMan on May 1, 2005
Okieman, Sounds like a good plan. You are off to a better start than I was at your stage in the game. Back then I didn't know that forums like this existed and hence during my first and second trips to Colombia I was CLUELESS. You have a good start with what you have learned here. Good luck and keep us posted. Zack |
