Thankfully, it's all about how stupid he is, and their disbelief that he could ever even be considered as a candidate for President, much less be getting the support he is.

I follow Der Spiegel on twitter and read a few of the papers. Don't want to entirely waste 5 years of grade school German and a year of college

French - 4 years in h.s. and 1 in college, which was a long time ago. I graduated with all intentions of keeping it up through reading magazines, etc. but then (B.C. before computers) it cost too much.

was tough to learn French again in college, which I attended at night years after h.s.. Once I got to the point of being able to understand it without translating into English first.... WOW! The prof. one semester was like a drill sargeant - but that's when it finally clicked.

you. TV5 has programming 24/7 that includes news, movies, talk shows, kid's entertainment, music, game shows, pretty much whatever you're interested in. I've subscribed to it for years. Vive la France!

I am going to my first Bernie organizing meeting tomorrow here in the suburbs of Houston. In 2008 I was also involved for Obama and it was a pretty big latino turn out for Hillary. It seems like age may play more a factor this time. I still expect older latinas to be for Hillary, but maybe I'll be proven wrong!

La razon por la que estamos interesados en Bernie Sanders es obvia. El no nos insulta cada vez que abre la boca.

If he's interested, links are at the campaign website. I sure wish there were specific courses to turn restaurant Spanish (Mas cerveza, por favor) into voter registration Spanish.
