I have been thinking lately of becoming bilingual. More like speaking multiple other languages too it's been a long dream of mine since I was a kid. I see a lot of job postings wanting bilingual speak, write, and read the language fluently. I took Spanish for two years in high school I could never fully develop it as I lost most of my conversational speaking skills. I live in a "neighborhood of some sorts" with Hispanics, but I could never speak Spanish with them because they treated me like **** (still do) and "you got the nerve to speak the language" funny they get offended if you don't like their food! Even if you spoke it fluently, they still wouldn't give you the time of day in my neighborhood.

Anyway, I'd rather speak Spanish with Puerto Ricans, Cubans, the ones from the islands any day. I love languages and culture; I have been seeing on a staffing agency's site (who I went through for a previous job) seeking bilingual candidates. It's truly sad how in America, we are still at the pit of the earth when it comes to languages and we know nothing about them. How could we do business with others when we still expect foreigners to know only English? Sad and funny, how their English is much better than ours yet we still can't speak it properly!

I do remember some Spanish - I possibly can pick up where things were left off. There are too many obstacles in my way: I am full time job hunting still part time at my current job. My job offers language courses, I pay enough for one class and don't want to pay an arm and a leg teaching me a new language when I can go elsewhere for cheaper or for free! I tried to
"date" a Mexican but he had so many excuses why he wouldn't teach me Spanish. As a part time temp, we get zero benefits for tuition waivers gotta pay it all upfront like a regular student. I wonder if there are a good apps to use?

I could use studying new language(s) on my resume as to something I am working on. Adding other skills that require a lot of time; not happening not until I get settled again in another full time job then I can worry about that.
So yea, I am always busy makes it impossible to have any space in my head for anything else. Job searching still is taking up the most of my time - just want a new job elsewhere, why is that still so hard to want? Any suggestions? Studying overseas definitely impossible.
