Hi Argh
you are always welcome here
we are happy to have you
I took French in high school, altho my mom said Spanish is more practical
I lived in NYC where we had many many Puerto Ricans, as well as Cubans
I was completely romantic as a teenager, I had no interest then in taking Spanish cause it would be good for a job later on
I wanted to take French cause it sounded romantic
lol now I live in Tucson, Arizona (only 60 miles from the Mexican border)
I sure wish I did know Spanish
Love, Palo

Up here some well-informed people have been saying that if you're English and want one other language, Spanish is more important even than French in Canada, because free trade is likely to expand into Central and South America. Whereas Quebec seems to get more irrelevant all the time.
