god there is this one fantastic telenovela that my roommates and i used to watch a couple of years ago where everyone either dies or gets freaking screwed at the end. the opening credits were horrifying, everyone getting raped and kidnapped and screaming.

at my last job i answered phones at a credit union call center in spanish, i quit a month ago and i think i have forgotten most everything. good luck!

thanks!

Also: if you teach kinds dirty words in spanish class, you will be the most popular teacher EVER. Please do it.
