Hablo español.... un poco.

I've been trying, without much success, to learn Spanish for the last few years. Despite having had two ex's who spoke it as their first language I still can't seem to make headway with it! I'm beginning to think that the only way I'm going to learn is to actually live in a Spanish speaking country.

Today I got the news that the ship I work on may be going to South America at the end of the year... hence the language books have been dusted down again!
