I love me some QT. QT is way better than a gas station and anyone who says otherwise is a tard

I find it disturbing that you guys put gas station employees up on such a high pedestal.

Sad, really.

so says the guy that got a degree in cns because he knew he couldn't cut ArchE. that's rich stuff right there. oh, my.

Don't open that closet. It is a dark place. Feelings could get hurt.

What are those things out front of QT that always have cars pulling up to them.

Boom.

Debunked.

SD, here is another one for your show.

it's real easy. just listen hard to when other people are talking in spanish. then, when it's your turn to talk, copy how they said stuff instead of saying stuff in your normal english voice.

Tried it.

People look really mad at me when I do this.

yeah, they will at first. just ignore and work at getting a little better every day. by 2013 you'll be able to ask clients all sorts of questions about their preferred method of payment.

I don't know...

2013 seems so close.

QT employees are the best change counters in the nation

Simple math surrounding the number 100 does not impress me.

I said its better than a gas station. Go to a gas station and see if you can get a 60 oz fountain drink filled with an energy drink for .99. You want the answer: YOU rough ridin' CAN'T!

Other notable things you can't get at other gas stations:
- A wide assortment of hot treats
- Enjoy a reliably clean store and more importantly, reliably clean rest room
- Intelligent, great smelling employees

i listen to the local spanish radio station hoping to pick some up. i can't ever tell when one word ends and the next begins, which makes it seem like it takes two minutes to enunciate a single word. i haven't learned a thing using this method.

Just left the grocery and must've accidentally hit Spanish instead of English. I didn't learn anything I didn't know, but I felt like a complete badass when I successfully self-checked out with produce, getting cash, etc while everyone looks over, surprised to see some dude white as the snow outside.

Has anyone learned Spanish as an adult? How long can I expect to be conversational if I devote a good amount of time to studying/books/tapes/etc and can attempt speaking with multiple people per day. A year?

Not sure, but I've heard duolingo is good.

About 5 months, but I am a very quick learner

I've been flirting with this too but I start strong and then get lazy after a few days

CNS · « **Reply #46 on:** February 01, 2016, 08:00:07 PM »

Duolingo sends a reminder to your phone daily to shame your lazy ass.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 01, 2016, 08:04:45 PM »

I didn't like duolingo

CNS · « **Reply #48 on:** February 01, 2016, 08:06:50 PM »

Was it the shaming?

I got an audio book to try to learn Spanish, but so far the only thing I can remember is how to ask what time it is.
