I would like to have a career in healthcare. I am currently in college and have to take four semesters of a foreign language. I took spanish in high school and had a hard time with it because I can't roll my R's. Would it be more useful to learn sign language? Or should I just suck it up and learn spanish?

I have been practicing here and there for 5 years, I have gotten to the point that I can actually understand full sentences but I have a hard time learning the language myself. I can pronounce it perfectly but how does one perfect the art of the language and knowing all the words. I want to learn before i go to the dominican.

Okay so I don't know any Spanish, besides maybe a few words. Where I live in Texas, it's not a big deal, but I was in Houston about a week ago, and all I saw was Hispanic people who didn't know a word of English. If I relocate to Austin, will I have a hard time with employment.
I've been to Austin many times, and from what I saw I could get by, but I wanted to know for sure.

I was wondering what the easiest way to learn a language is? I have a hard time learning in a classroom. I can memorize words, it's the grammar and structure I have issues with. I also lose interest quickly. Are there certain programs that work better than others? I was thinking that the Rosetta Stone programs might work, but they're SO expensive. Does anyone know if they work as well as they're said to? Or if there's something out there just as good and not as epensive? I would prefer a program that can keep my interest, and also address my issues with grammar and structure.

Finally, should I learn Spanish or German? I want to learn German the most, but I know learning Spanish will be extremely useful soon if I stay in the USA.

I have a hard time learning Spanish and was wondering if I should try French, Italian or Latin. All of which I think are close to Spanish and if I learn one of those maybe I can ease it to ease in to Spanish.

Yes I know Spanish is the easiest language but for some reason I cant seem to grasp it. Perhaps because I feel I should all ready know it is why it is hard but I don’t know.

I am half Mexican so I should all ready know it but I don’t.

Can you suggest some good learning courses? I did take a class at the college but it went way too fast for me and for private lessons I would have to go to Portland 80 miles away.

Um…I have tried instant immersion Spanish deluxe CD program.

Any ideas?

I really am having a hard time deciding where I'd like to spend a some time studying spanish and studying nursing, I prefer not to have spain since there are different tenses you don't normally learn in school. I've been to Antigua, Guatemala and loved it and also Puerto Rico and spent some time in Miami. any people who've had first hand experiences would be much appreciated! thanks

I take Spanish in school, but I am having a hard time with it. I heard that Tell me more is good, just not for beginners. I need one that not only deals with vocabulary but sentence structure, conjugations, etc also.

I really want to learn this language but I'm having a hard time. I know how to pronounce the words perfectly and I can even read the words and understand them when said one at a time; however, when someone starts talking Spanish to me in full sentences it just sounds like a huge big blur and I can't understand nothing. It sounds like a lawnmower.

I am in Spanish 2, and I have a really hard time learning it, because my teacher teaches it a different way. I am more of a Do it learner, than a watch some one explain it. I like learning through Games and such, and expeirences. How can I learn Spanish with this?
Well you see....I can't buy anything, and I don't know anyone who can speak it fluently.
