A regular customer at the cigar shop got me a CD will all 27 languages and each lesson per language. So last night I started Spanish (Latin America) version. Not saying it's easy, not saying it's hard, but for me, I have a hard time pronouncing some of the words, like "caballo" or horse. I get the two "ll's" are a y sound, but I have a hard time with the "b", as it's not a b sound, but more of like a "v" or something.

If I can ever get the Spanish down, I'd love to try Russian next!

Nice, learning a language is good for the mind...and possibly the wallet. My Turkish doesn't get me anywhere here in the states.
