10 things you should know about learning a new language (from my perspective):
1) Rosetta Stone (or some knock off version like I'm currently using) can be quite overwhelming.
2) You'll begin to wonder in what situations you'll ever use the phrase, "Where are the suitcases?"
3) You'll quickly remember why you didn't take any more Spanish classes after junior year of high school.
4) Mandarin is the most spoken language in the world. (Maybe I should be trying my hand at it instead of Spanish.)
5) The Spanish world for garlic (ajo) is very difficult to pronounce.
6) It's always best to immerse yourself in the culture. Surround myself with margaritas and salsa dancing? yes please.
7) The swear words are so much easier to learn than anything else.
8) You'll have a great excuse to go to Mexico (or Spain, or France, or China, etc.)
9) It's not as easy as it looks.
10) And it feels a lot like this:
