Well, if I had given a little forethought to that, back in high school I would have taken lots of different languages instead of just Spanish, because I do deal extensively with international countries. We have what we call language line where we can incorporate people within the organization nationwide that can translate for us. Norwegian, Belgian, whatever the case may be.
But very often, in fact a couple of weeks ago, I was not able to get through to the language line rep in time, and I had a call that I had to deal with Mexico, and it was, of course a conference call, and I kept beating on myself because I kept thinking, if I had paid more attention to that basic Spanish class that I had in high school, then I would be able to sit through that conference call and not need a translator at all. My basic knowledge right now is counting from one to twenty and I think I'm accomplished when I can do that and someone else can understand it.
But I think that's an experience where I really regret not taking full advantage of something that was given to me basically free of charge and I did only the necessities of getting through that class. I regret that tremendously.
