I try not to post too much about my blog on LCT; but if you're interested in learning a new language before you're next trip, I don't want you to miss this opportunity.

Today, I reviewed (with contest) the Rosetta Stone language software program. If you leave a comment after the post, telling me which language you'd like to learn, you'll be entered in the contest. Winner is chosen by a random number generator. You must be a U.S. citizen and be willing to post your email address (I'm the only one who sees that) for contact purposes.

Here's the link: Learn a New Language With Rosetta Stone

Good luck!

Karen, if this isn't appropriate, I'll understand if you remove this message.

¡Parece muy bien a mí!

Oh Karen, you shame me with your language knowledge ;)

I am not even sure if it says what I wanted it to say! I put, "It seems OK to me" into the Google translator and that is what came out :)

What a great contest...thanks Donna! Two weeks ago when I was in Mexico with my boss we were discussing how we wish we knew more Spanish so we could converse. She said she was doing the Rosetta Stone course and I was very impressed with how much she all ready knew.

Thanks, Donna! I've heard such good things about Rosetta Stone. I've worked with another program on Spanish (still need more work!) but I'd really like to re-learn the French I took in high school.

I am always in awe of folks who can speak "just enough plus" to get by in foreign country - Tom Matassa comes to mind - My HS Spanish and French were wasted on me - wish I had taken more than 1 yr of Latin -

I have managed to muddle through using my "fractured French" for three trips. It was laughable to the locals and impressive :rolleyes: to Alan, who knows about 5 words in French.

I'd love to be more proficient.
