some of the americans i know here have been learning spanish for 3-4yrs and they still dont wanna hang out in a group of latinos cuz they feel lost...
personally for me thats not life... understanding how to use me gusta is completely different from using humor, sarcasm, etc in a different language.. itll take me years to get there.. not willing to lose those many years at this point...

Gotcha, I have been in rio for 3 years and I can get lost with a big group of Brazilians. My language just now is hitting its stride. I still suck if I have to tell a long story. A long funny story? forget about it.
I also have learned to like the added difficulty. It used to be hard to buy lunch. Now I am finding it challenging to make some real estate investments. Adds the zest. Not sure how Panama is but brazil is so amazing that I will never leave.
