Hope you were a diver or otherwise nautically oriented during your stay. [/ QUOTE ] Was really into running and bicycling, trying to lose weight to avoid getting kicked out. So jogging along those beaches, and bicycling the 17-mile drive every weekend, was pretty cool.

Re: learning a foreign language?
I had a different experience than the army guy. I took Korean in college, because I wanted to learn an Asian language and most people told me Korean was the easiest one.
And I agree with whoever said Pimsleur is good. I've been listening to their German (new for me) and Spanish (re-learning what I forgot from high school) tapes lately in my car, and both languages are coming along pretty quickly so far. And I agree with what most people are saying about the most useful: spanish, chinese, french, german, and [whichever language will get you closer to the particular girl you're interested in].

Re: learning a foreign language?
tin is for sure the easiest, there is a scale measuring the difficulty of picking up foreign languages. This scale goes from 1 to 5. Chinese, any dialect is a five for an English speaker, Spanish is a two, Latin is a one. Not only that but 50% of Latin words are cognates with an english word.

Re: learning a foreign language?
One or two of the thai tones are difficult for me, but i usually just work around them, plus when you use a word in a sentence people can tell what youre trying to say.

Re: learning a foreign language?
If you want something easy, go with Bahasa Indonesia or Malay. Non-tonal, lots of similarities to English, uses an alphabet, and no conjugation. It's cake.
