Spanish Tagging
28 04 2008 
In a few weeks I’ll be in a small village in Colombia trying to impress my girlfriend’s grandparents. And as impressive as Twitter, Facebook, social media and advertising might be, I think learning Spanish is a far more effective way to go here. So I’ve covered my apartment with Spanish phrases and words, and my friend Karlenis hand selected the phrases (i.e., appliance tagging). I’ve also downloaded a few Spanish books on audible. So as long as they ask me one of 50 or so phrases, I’ll be just fine. Hasta manana.
Great tactic! You might be beyond its utility at this point, but I’ve enjoyed using the Rosetta Stone software as a fun diversion to pick up some bits & pieces of new languages. My experience w/ it makes me confident it’d work really well if taken to the advanced level of a given language.
I’m sure you won’t need it, but all the same, buena suerte.
Enjoy your trip!
Love it!
