Planning To Learn Spanish
I was musing the other day, and decided it might be a good time to learn a second language. I studied Spanish in high school, so I figured I might get back into it to the point where I’d be at least semi-fluent in a conversational manner. Not that I had any particular purpose for this desire, but that I really felt bored and like it’s time to learn a new language.
But a comment over at The Liberty Papers, and the blog it leads to, made me realize something. There may come a day when it’s time to get out of the USA. At the very least, I plan to figure out my debt and asset situations such that I can do it if I need to. Outside of the typical benefits of learning a second language, though, knowing how to speak Spanish greatly widens the number of countries I can run to. I had thought of Ireland, Australia, etc. But I don’t want to rule out Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and South America.
So it’s time to get a hold of the Rosetta Stone software, try to remember the 4 years of high school Spanish I took, and start reading Spanish-language media/etc to see exactly how much I can pick up…

Learning Portuguese too, may provide for more entrepreneurial opportunities.
