So I am working on the listening part of being a better friend. Not the easiest part for a male. I spent two hours with a good friend yesterday and made it a point to just listen and not talk as much. He had a lot of things he was pissed off about. Amazingly enough, before we left, my friend apologized for talking so much and thanked me for listening to him. I think that helps make one a better friend: Being there for someone else and not focusing on yourself.

I live in the US, traveled South America, Europe and Antarctica (three months on a scientific expedition – very cool!!) Need to get to Africa, Asia and Australia. Top goal would be to spend three months traveling through Australia and New Zealand!
Has anyone tried Rosetta Stone for learning Spanish? Is there any self taught system that works or is classroom learning the only way to do this???
