[quote=deadzone]I speak Spanish, for instance and it is of no practical value here in the US (except for enterntainment purposes cause I love watching telenovelas at night).

Travelling to Mexico or other Spanish speaking countries extremely valuable. Traveling to Europe it provided no value outside of Spain (caveat: helps a little towards Italian/Portugues but not much help for French).

How do you prove your theory that it does add value?[/quote]
Yo canto mariachi y me pagan bien cada espectaculo que doy. La verdad es que no tengo tiempe sufficiente para responder. Ojala que lo de mas te lo explique antes de que regrese de mis quehaceres.
Mientras tanto me puedes elaborar en el asunto de tus telenovelas favoritas. Mi predilecta fue “Betty la fea”, pero hoy en di me encuentro involucrado en cosas mas importantes…

FYI – here is the result of putting the above through Google Translate. Not perfect, but interesting:

I sing mariachi and pay me well to give each show. The truth is I have no time to respond sufficiente. I hope that the more you explain it before you go to my chores.
Meanwhile I can elaborate on the issue of your favorite soap operas. My favorite was “Betty la fea”, but now I find myself involved in more important things …

[quote=afx114][quote=deadzone]Bigger picture, learing additonal languages here in U.S. is totally worthless if you don’t actually spend significant amount of time overseas actually using the language.[/quote]

Unless you work in retail in San Diego. Like it or not, Spanish is pretty much a requirement for a retail job in the southwest, even if it’s not officially stated as so.[/quote]

That’s bullcrap. Even if it was true, who has career ambitions of working the counter at Ross?

Yeah Russell the novelas are great. I don’t have much time for them recently either. I did like “La Fea mas Bella”, and really enjoyed the Columbian novela “Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso”
