Hi OzCC,
I do not believe Spanish is a difficult language to learn, i mean if you are willing to learn ( which by reading your posts, i conclude that you are ) then it will be easier.
I'm sure you will have fun
By the way, can you give me any opinions on where to stay in Sydney got my flights booked for 3 weeks ( April ) and now im trying to arrange some accomodation, something not too far from Sydney city centre. The other day got a hotel with good rates in Kings Cross, but someone warned me that it's a Red Traffic Area
Thanks
Airway
