Careers & Employment - August 2006

I just spent the last 5 weeks in Mexico studying Spanish. I am able to understand the language fairly well through listening, and one of the main things that I need is oral speaking practice. I know that I also lack in vocabulary, as anyone would at this particular stage in learning the language. I am very capable of writing spanish, only me cuesta trabajo hablar en espanol. It takes me a longer time to spit the words out.

I live in Columbus, Ohio where there isn't a very large Spanish speaking population. Any ideas on how to keep practicing, or any ideas on a second job or activity that I could pick up? I am really interested and dedicated to becoming bilingual, so I would appreciate serious responses.

I have been working for over a year now in the same job, and have not had a pay rise. My bosses are the sort of people who don't offer, you have to ask (tight in other words). And I really hate asking. I have definately improved, and I feel I deserve one, i'm just not sure how to ask. Anyone got any suggestions? I have a meeting tomorrow and was hoping to discuss it then even tho i'm nervous as hell. I really need one especially since petrol, food, rent and everything around me has gone up in price, but I still get paid the same.

I am considering moving to another state, mostly to attend grad schoo, but also partly for a change. I have a job that I like, and could work from home while going to school part time. One of the guys I work with recently kept his job when he transferred to another city, but I would be moving pretty far out in the boonies, while he moved to a major city
My question is, how do I bring this up to my boss? I made a joke about it a couple of weeks ago, and he responded positively to the idea, but knowing that it was a joke. Has anyone out there done this and had it work out well?
Thanks for the advice!
