I'm a little upset that noone has said anything about Arabic. I guess it's not the most popular second language in America, it's becoming increasingly popular as more and more Arab people move there. I was trying to learn it, having our interpreters and the Iraqi Police teach me what they could. I was actually getting pretty far with it, even being able to almost translate written Arabic into english letters, then figuring out what the word was. Then they picked up our unit and moved us, and I haven't had any interaction with interpreters or the Iraqi population in over a month. If anyone has experience with the Rosetta Stone program, please let me know what you thought of it, and if it's worth the money.
Beat you to the English pretty good one.
I did buy a Teach yourself Spanish book and hope to learn it one day. I know a few words and if the whole Mexican population would slow down I could understand a little bit of it. I want to know it mostly because I want to know what they are talking about when we are in the same room and no one but them speaks Spanish.
Anyone who says "I speak English good" clearly does not have a firm grasp on the English language. It's "I speak English well".
(Edit: lol i'm a fucking idiot)

Yeah I thought about that but then realized most Americans have poor grammar.
A really, really long time ago, I was enrolled in a class to learn farsi...
but I mean I was like 6 years old I don't remember anything of value from it. Just that all the letters were connected, practicing the letter forms and writing from right to left was awkward. To be hoenst, I wish I stuck with it.
I've heard something about Arabic being one of the harder languages to learn, especially when it comes to writing it. You're right about the right to left reading/writing, as well as all of the letters being connect. The things I got from it is that there are 4 different ways to write each letter of their alphabet. There's also alot of different dialects in Arabic, varying from country to country, and sometimes even by region. The Arabic that I have books and such for is "Traditional", and the words and things that the Iraqis were teaching me were "Iraqi Arabic". It kind of sucks.
I haven't heard any Farsi, because I haven't been to Northern Iraq, but I've heard that the military is always in need of people that speak it, because there's still a bit of conflict up there that needs to be dealt with.

Yeah KT, if you couldn't tell by the "this here" and "dern" preceding the "good" , I was kidding.
Perfectly fluent in both French and English (although the French is starting to deteriorate since I moved from French education [grade 1-12] to English university). I took some Spanish in high school (which I lost 90% of) and 1 year of German in University. My girlfriend also taught me some Italian but I can't remember 90% of that either except for a few expressions of anger.
Telling stupid people they are idiots since 1987
