Learning Spanish....the Challange. - Off-topic

Who thinks I can learn spanish till June/July? I guess I have to since if I don't my dad isn't paying for college anymore. lol. I have Rosetta Stone full Spanish pack and Dr Pimsleur method CDs 1 through 3. Anyone had any luck with any of them?

Man to be honest in my experience you need to take some kind of class. There are many online classes where a teacher will have a video call with you, just do a quick google.
I wasted so much time on rosetta. There's nothing quite like actually taking part in a conversation. Even if it's only once a week.
I'm not saying its useless, but it won't work just on its own.
Again, this is just my experience. I've heard other have had success with such software.

The Spanish language is actually kinda complex....
I'm a Spanish speaker and writer and there's some things I learned in school the last two years that I didn't know myself.

I understand the complexity. My primary language is Polish, and supposedly it's one of the most difficult languages to learn.
I already have some basic knowledge, and I can exchange a few phrases with the guys at work. I just want to be at a level where I can have a conversation with someone. I just did the first lesson in Rosetta Stone, and god that **** is annoying. It doesn't always pick up on your dialect and you sit there repeating the same phrase like 10 times and you still can't get it, where I know if I was speaking to someone they would know what I meant. And I guess I'll see what $700 worth of language learning techniques is worth.

If I were able to just move somewhere, it definitely wouldn't be anywhere within the United States. And I live in NYC, everyone speaks spanish here, I just don't pay attention.

If you try you can... I only have three weeks left to learn spanish
Im a horrible procrastinator
I've know for like half a year I would be going to Peru.

I live here in Tenerife around 26 years now and when I arrived here (I´m german) I immediately started to watch the (awful) spanish TV and became member of a video rental club and watched a lot of movies which I knew in german, very helpful.
*back--Forward* to listen to what the actors were talking about.
And with a few words started to talk to my new neighbours and they helped me a lot.
Never had lessons or something like that and now I even have no problems to talk to lawyers or judges (thanks to my lovely Ex-wife) or write letters to the Ministerio de Justicia in Madrid.
So in my opinion the easiest way is to go outside and start to talk no matter how bad you speak the language....

Exactly. Thank you man. And lol at the whole fish thing hahaa. And oh. I'm sorry. And yeah, that's good. Aww man don't cry. Lol. Hug man. /Hug.
And it's not that my dads a bad dad. But he had to work out of state for a while so yeah.
Regret is a terrible waste of time.
There's plenty of time to build that bond.
I'm a father of 2 G1 and I love my sons over anything in the world. Believe me, your dad feels tha same deep down. Communication is very important, I did'n had much with my dad but I know that he loves me to death. Also, when I became a dad that open a better relation with Clown senior.
It's not that you have to go out there and be a dad, but for a dad I imagine is difficult to "catch up" with a teenager nowadays, but definitely you can find things to do together.
Maybe he can teach U how to perform in a talent show better...or rap...LoL..just kidding little buddy.
Father of 2 (10 yo boy and 5 yo girl), recently divorced, and son of divorced parents, with a fairly absent father when growing up, and now no longer among us, since 2006... whow, that´s a heavy opening for a post on xda!
My father was very reserved, and did not had many father/son moments to remenber. Hold it against him for quite a long time, until I had my own kids, and started to see the all thing from a diferent perspective.
What can I say? Enjoy every moment with him, be it good or just "normal". The "normal" ones are the most precious memories I had from my dad.
And I catch myself many times, when I have my kids with me, trying to give them "special" moments, and realizing that the normal ones are the ones that they really enjoy.
Just make sure he knows you love him! It really matters!
EDIT: Damn, now you got tears on my eyes!
Don't cry buddy. May he rest in Peace. It's all good. And thanks for the advice everyone.

Lady Gaga, Born This Way

Please, don't fill this forum with hate, that would just make you an ass.
I just picked up the album, and I have some severe mixed feelings on it. I really like Electric Chapel and Scheiße, but some of the songs are just... eh. And I kinda found Black Jesus offensive. (No, the song is not about race, outsiders.)
Anyone else get the album, how do you all like it?
WTF is a 'Lady Gaga'
I definitely love Scheiße but I also love Hair. It has soo much meaning to me . But I agree I also have a mixed feeling on some of the songs on the album

It is a completely unoriginal, manufactured marketing gimmick with the sole purpose of parting kids from their pocket money, and its very sucessful.
It was not in fact "born this way", it was told be be that way in order to achieve its primary function.

When it comes to media i'm about as Old Skool and retro as it gets. Don't own a TV or Radio, and only read science journals + tech sites, as current affairs never really change from one generation to the next. (Crime/Corruption/War/Natural disasters - all the same as ever was).

Didn't Madonna do the whole 'Black Jesus' thing 20 years ago with the 'Like A Prayer' video?
Is nothing original any more?
BTW, (just speculating here), if Jesus was born in the middle east, as it was written, why does he look as white as my ass in every picture you see?
I don't like it.

Asked the same question in my bio class senior year (also asked if she was black) and everybody around me started cracking up in disbelief.
I have a big distaste for this album. I like parts of certain songs, but not any one song as a whole. I feel like she's going downhill instead of up musically.

I was bullied at school alot as a child.
Today i am goth.. i am a Metal head.
How did i deal with my bullies? i took them on one by one.. brought their little level back down and beat them up.
Remember in junior high this kid from special ed decided to pick a fight with me, he ended up smacking me causing my glasses to fall off, and his special ed buddies decided to destroy them, I really didn't want to punch the kid, I punched him once, the nurse later told me I broke his rib. lol

If they prefer to ambush you ambush them.

If you can play "Lol, Dota, Hon, SoTiS" and manage to get a killing spree.. you should damn well be able to stack the odds against them.

It's disgusting but thankfully they were just that dumb to provide the video that has now condemned them. I hope the authorities throw the book at them.
I always taught my kids to punch a bully in the face in front everybody and I wont be mad at them. Ill deal with the school, don't let some one pick one you like that (it will also allow other bullys to take notice and join in) My son did slap the **** out of one on the bus, I didn't condone it. A bully will leave you alone if you let them know you wont take it weather they are bigger or not. They'll find another wimp to pick on that will allow it. Its that simple.
Nothing like teaching kids self confidence and how to handle themselves in an uncomfortable situation inste of playing victim like our culture is pushing.

Bullying is usually at the high school level, Hormones are high, insecurities are popping up, and street violence follows the students into class.
Most of the trouble makers don't graduate high school much less make it to college.

Ah I remember High School. Some kid (remember, bigger than me) didn't like something I said. During class threatened me that I'll get beat up. I ignored him. In the next few days I always saw him with his buddies, I was always alone in the staircase, but his buddies had too much respect to touch me. It's fun being smart enough to control the crowd with just your posture. lol

The English language gets butchered

This has nothing to do with the evo 3d or any phone at all...just a general rant. I've been coming on here for 2 years and posts from people get worse and worse. I'm not talking about people in different countries, for the most part their English is pretty good. Its the people that say haz, and mines, and da instead of the. And no punctuation. Its irritating and hard to read. I'm not perfect in anyway and I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but I just needed to vent.

Because I love China and I don't have any love for mine country, if I could work in China then I would move away from mine country, because I don't like the society where I live in.
Yeah we have an great social system, but that's all there is to be said about mine country.
interesting, interesting...

Yes its an big immigrant group in the Netherlands. I always say: People from like Morocco only bring us trouble, but the Chinese that come here many off them in fact have some business like Chinese restaurant.
Half bleeds are different ofcourse then original Chinese people, I also dated an hal bleed Chinese girl, but they are different, big chance they feel there self more dutch then Chinese or the other way around.
I follow this dutch Chinese on youtube

Edited, now you have no proof.
But I like that you've made this thread about people using slang, all while having conveniently removed the letter 'g' from the word 'coming,' in your sig...
Ahh, touche

Coming to New Orleans, looking for local seafood & more

I'll be visiting NOLA for business in May. I am looking for great seafood and regional fare. I want to eat where the locals eat, not tourist-centric places. On the seafood, I'm looking for fish market style and variety. On local fare, I want authentic local character. I won't eat everything the Bizarre Food guy eats, but pretty close...
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!!
Welcome to Yelp-Developers! We hope that you enjoy your stay.

The first thing I thought of when reading this title was the movie "Coming to America." Made me chuckle.
Anyway, my favorite hole-in-the-wall seafood joint is Deanie's Seafood in Bucktown. The address is 1713 Lake Avenue in Metairie. They have mostly fresh caught seafood. The blackened redfish is amazing there.
If you're looking for crawfish, you'll be a bit disappointed by the time you get here, as they're going out of season right about now. People still sell them, but they are usually kind of small and a bit gritty as the summer begins.
If you're downtown in the French Quarter, my favorite place to go is Landry's Seafood at 400 North Peters Street in New Orleans. It's a bit of a nicer restaurant, so you'd do well to put on your Sunday best and take the little lady out to a nice meal there. My favorite is the Salmon or Tuna. Both are excellent.
If you want a breakfast treat, people love beignets. They're basically french donuts. Cafe du Monde is the tourist attraction, but there's another one right up the road in the French Quarter that I absolutely adore. It's called Cafe Beignet. They're only open from 5am-2pm, so get there early. It's a little shop right next to the police station. Blink and you'll miss it. The address is 334 Royal St in New Orleans. There's supposed to be another one on Bourbon Street with different hours, but I've never bothered to go looking for it.
Any other questions, let me know. There really aren't many bad places to eat, tourist attraction or not. The city is famous for its food. You'll be hard pressed to find any chain restaurants around NOLA.
DAFUQ!? I thought . . . .b-but.. but.. ?!?

No thanks. That's a bit creepy. Don't mind giving out advice, but inviting anyone from XDAinto my home seems a bit rapey. I still haven't recovered from the last time when I let @M_T_M into my house...
