Yes, I've recently picked up a set of Spanish language tutorial CDs. I've lived in San Antonio for over a decade and am constantly around Spanish speakers. It's about time I tried to learn the lingo, wouldn't you say?

PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. - Service members from the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center were honored by Coca-Cola and the San Francisco Giants during a pre-game presentation at AT&T Park in San Francisco. A handful of service members were on the field prior to the Giants' July 21 game versus the Arizona Diamondbacks and were presented an autographed jersey by Giants' pitcher and former Cy Young Award winner Barry Zito. Zito founded the charity "Strikeouts for Troops" in 2005 in support of service members with war-related injuries and their families, and is also involved in multiple other military related non-profit organizations. In addition, 20 DLIFLC service members not involved in the pre-game ceremony were given tickets to watch the game, which ended with a Giant's loss by a score of 1-3.

There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip,
Nay, her foot speaks; her wanton spirits look out
At every joint and motive of her body."

The Tà y people speak a language of the Central Tai language group, and live in northern Vietnam. They are sometimes also called Thô, T'o, Tai Tho, Ngan, Phen, Thu Lao, or Pa Di.
There are about 1.5 million Tà y people living in Vietnam. This makes them the second largest ethnic group in Vietnam after the majority Viet ethnic group. Most are in northern Vietnam in particular in the Cao Bằng, Lạng Sơn, Bắc Kạn, Thái Nguyên, and Quảng Ninh Provinces, where they live along the valleys and the lower slopes of the mountains.

The traditional costume of the Tay women is beautiful in its classic simplicity. Long indigo or blue dresses with long, close-fitting sleeves are generally worn. These dresses are split at the sides, and they wear indigo trousers under the dress. They wear a silk belt over the dress, knotted at the back, with the ends hanging down.

Here are a few of the Japanese language books I have in my collection. I do not speak or read Japanese, but I love the books I have.
Maybe some of my Japanese speaking Flickr friends can offer translations to these titles.
