I need some recommendations on crash course in speaking Spanish (survival Spanish). Software, dictionary, CD, anything else you can think of…

Thanks

If you need to learn more than just a few basic phrases, and to speak "as the locals do" in latin america countries, do a search on a program called "Learning Spanish Like Crazy" ... I'm doing it and its very effective

I learned a lot of Spanish working in S. America and then really learned a lot more when I married a Mexican lady. :11:

helpful in case you lose your horse:

donde esta mi caballo? -- where is my horse?



helpful in case someone finds your horse:

cuidado, mi caballo muerde! -- be careful, my horse bites!



helpful in case someone is injured by your horse:

ese no es mi caballo -- that is not my horse


good things to know how to say

hay huracanes en este lugar? -- are there hurricanes here?

es activo ese volcan? -- is the volcano active?

no, no soy terrorista -- no, i am not a terrorist

Andy,

You need to add:

Arriba los manos, guajalotes!--Up with your hands, you turkeys!

and:

Deme usted su licencia de manejar immediamente, por favor!--Give me your drivers' license immediately, please!

Should help a lot!

Rob

P.S.---To make the first statement really, really effective, you should point a Remington 870 at the people you are speaking to, in order to focus their attention!

Hey, this is fun.....

Here's one you can figure out on your own, all you Spanish speakers:

Como es que tu cara parece un sobaco??

Y, los dientes de mi esposa son como las perlas......muy escasos!

Y, en serio, como se llamaba el caballo de Pancho Villa? Vamos a ver quien seria el ganador de esta pregunta con la respuesta correcta.

I love the co-worker who asked another co-worker who imagrated here from Mexico if he "spoke Mexican"?

Sad thing was she was really serious when she asked him that.
