Immerse yourself in Spanish

September 18, 2008 By Noah Matthews

I've just returned from my 90-minute commute on the parking lot known as the 405 Freeway. If traffic wasn't exactly flying, time was and instead of hearing about how bad traffic was on my car radio, I was learning a language we're all going to have to learn if demographic experts are right. Even now, pretty much everything (excluding this column) is in both English and Spanish. So, as I do every year about this time, I'm brushing up on my Spanish.

  You people suffer from the same critical oversight.
  
  Men learn Spanish best by asking young Latin woman to teach them; not by watching lips move, while they stroke themselves, on a computer screen.
