You can go to the public librabry and in their audio section you can check out tapes or DVD's of foreighn languages. The expensive route would be buying the Rosetta Stone dvd's. or e-bay?

how far has your buddy gotten.. .I scored really high on the written exam (95%/100 without any vet's preference) and I am already an employee of DHS, so I got the whole background/drug nonsense squared away. . .I just need for them to announce vacancies in orlando and do the "structured interview" and academy. . . Im hopin they step up port security at canaveral or something to create some vacancies. . .


I can out run a mex, I just cant out pick them. . .

I tried to teach myself german that way. . . It kinda worked. . .I figure not being fluent in 'espanol' wont kill me. . .I understand the basics (south Florida native) and there are always hispanic people all over around here. . so im not all too worried about that. . .

^^^^They don't wear signs.

Congrats. It can be a risky job for you though. Things are ugly now.


A VERY necessary job we need done. Good luck.

The drug cartels are all into this now, they are the new "coyotes" nowadays, charging about $2500-$5000 a head, and they are now using the illegals to carry drugs into the USA now; no risk at all for the cartels, and they can and often, do, hold the family "back home" hostage in case the illegal gets any cute ideas about becoming an "independent contractor" when he has those drugs on him
