To learn Spanish and become bilingual can have many benefits – broadening your awareness, connecting you to other cultures and peoples, and enabling you to communicate with a wider range of people with unique viewpoints and experiences.

Many jobs nowadays require employees to be bilingual.  The United States is comprised of the second largest Spanish speaking population, second only to Mexico.  It is important not only abroad but in the continental U.S. to be able to speak Spanish, as it is very helpful and almost essential in some communities to be a fluent communicator.  For people who find themselves around many Spanish speaking individuals, learning Spanish is a must. 

There is a no more convenient way than learning through self-study. Self-study, particularly in combination with exposure to native speakers directly or through television or a class, can expedite the learning process. 

If you are hoping to learn how to speak Spanish fluently, here are a few surefire steps to help you accomplish your goal, quickly:

1. Find an educational resource (maybe a college or online learning opportunity) – take a course, find a teacher, study a book, go online, or acquire an audio program.
2. Build your vocabulary and develop basic grammar skills.  Memorize new words and their pronunciations. Say a sentence a few times, then translate it into Spanish and repeat the Spanish version several times.  You are internalizing the sound, structure, and meaning of Spanish phrases.  Even if you forget a specific word or phrase later, you will retain its familiarity.
3. Think in Spanish.  By expanding your mind to another language, you will accelerate the learning process.  Whenever you encounter difficulty thinking in Spanish, you will elucidate for yourself your problem areas (vocabulary, grammar, etc.).




4. Expose yourself to Spanish.  Watching Spanish TV or listening to music are excellent ways to further your education.  Try to understand what is being said.  By listening to music in another language, it will become more fluid in your mind and also acquaint you with the accent and eloquent vocabulary of that language.  Television puts the language in context and makes it real, as well as giving you exposure to native speakers and their colloquial expressions.
5. Learn about Spanish speaking cultures.  Languages exist in a dialogue with culture, so certain expressions and mentalities are inextricably tied to cultural origins.  The study of culture may also help prevent social misunderstandings.
6. Choose a specific Spanish variant for advanced study.  Every Spanish-speaking country has a different accent, different slang, and sometimes even different vocabulary.  As you advance in your Spanish proficiency, you may find it helpful to choose one flavor to learn in particular.  It could be confusing if your lessons continually shift among word meanings and pronunciations for each country. 
7. Speak Spanish with others who know the language as often as possible.  Practice makes perfect.
8. Go to a Spanish-speaking country for vacations or service trips.  Being around people 24/7 who speak Spanish helps tremendously.

Anyway I’ve made a mock up of what it was like to turn sky on in the early 1990’s and channel hop though all the channels. NOTE: This is of course fake, what I’ve done is search though and rip loads of clips from youtube and cut and paste them together to make this mock up (yes I’m really that sad) and yes I know it’s very inaccurate and some clips are from different eras some are early 1990’s some are later and it would have been impossible to channel hop exactly at the moments of indents over & over again but I think I’ve just tried to create the ‘feeling’ of what is like to channel hop though sky in the early to mid 1990’s. I was going off an online sky channel listing (crica 1993) that someone posted on an internet forum to get order of the channels back then best I could but I am using my own memory to try and remember which channels were scrambled (and then finding a clip with the kind of scrambling they used again all from memory. E.g., I can clearly remember how Teleclub and Filmnet would be viewable expect when they were actually airing a movie then they would scramble). A lot of this is done from re-creating stuff from my own memory. Obviously some clips are from totally different channels etc but used to just substitute and get it as close as I possibly could. Enjoy

I admit that I would have no problem traveling anywhere in Mexico, particularly in resort areas like Puerto Vallarta. The numbers are simply too microscopic to to worry about something awful happening, which can happen anywhere at almost any time.

Three celebrities headlined legal news on July 20th, 2010.  TMZ reported that the releasing of the audio tapes of the Mel Gibson tirade by Oksana Grigorieva may have violated an agreement that paid her $15 million dollars, along with a house and other assets as child support.

TMZ also reported that Lindsay Lohan began her 90-day prison term by learning that the judge provided no options for house arrest and/or early release. However, due to overcrowding, TMZ further reports the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department indicated that she would likely wind up serving only 23 days behind bars.

Finally, TMZ reported that Jennifer Aniston was able to have a restraining order issued against Jason Peyton, who was arrested for prowling. Peyton reportedly had a sharp object and duct tape when he was taken into custody, and has to stay at least 100 yards away from the actress’s home, her places of work, and her vehicles.
