Ever wanted to learn a foreign language?
I have tried a couple before for Polish but it didn't really fit to my learning style. I found one today that I really like. It's from this company Teach Yourself - languages section and I got the "complete course".

they say the best one is Rosetta Stone: Learn English, Learn Spanish, Learn French, Learn German, Learn Italian, and 25 other languages with our language-learning software packages. i just saw a commercial for it. lol

I haven't tried that one because of the cost. I would hate to spend that kind of money and it not be a format that works well for me. I tried an interactive dvd for like $20 and glanced through the another one at Barne's & Noble that was about $60. This one was $30 and it comes with two instructional cd's and a book.

I took French from grade 1 to grade 10 and still can't speak it fluently. I have been around my mother and grandmother speaking Polish my whole life, and still only recognize select words...nowhere near fluent. I don't absorb languages well.

I took 6 years of German and all I can say is "Ich habe eine grosse Catse in meine Hose". Which of course is straight from Blue Streak in German instead of Spanish. It means "I have a large cat in my pants."
Other than that, my brain just doesnt function when it comes to learning a new language.

I took Italian during hight school, can't speak a lick of it. Foreign languages allude me. I would love to learn German and move there and work for a big multi-national firm there someday.

I am fluent in Polish and English.
Took German for 3 years (can't remember much anymore) but I think that refreshing it would get me back on track. Also, I studied some Bosnian for some time, was able to understand what people were talking about but not respond. As far as I can recommend, it is the best to go to the country that uses the language you want to learn. It is by far the fastest and best way to learn a new language.

Haha, not bad not bad. Your wife is about 90% right. "Ich bein sehr langsam wit meine Hausofgaben" means my homework is making me bored "Sprechst du spater." means speak to you later

AHHHH, ok ok. I was thinkin about majoring in bio, but when i had my highschool experience of chem i loved it. So throughout high school i was on the Chem Team, and now i am majoring in Chemistry. Dude can you please ask her a question from me: what in the hell is "The Chromosome Theory of Heredity"? its in my genetics book and it doesn't make sense. The only concept i learned from it was hemizygote.

haha. I don't want to rush her if she is busy. If she has better things to do tomm, than don't worry about, no big deal. Appreciate the help though.

To make both of you happy ...
 In order to understand the theory you are talking about it is essential to understand Mendel's Laws. During meiosis, the cell undergoes many divisions: in meiosis I you have Prophase, Methaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Here you will have two daughter cells that are different (the main point of meiosis I is to separate homologous chromosomes)In meiosis II you have pretty much the same, but the outcome gives you 4 daughter cells that have totally different genetic makeup (the point of meiosis II is to separate sister chromatids). Each chromosome contains genes that are located in certain manner. During meiosis (some books say that it is during late Prophase) a cross over can occur between sister chromatids and when they are pulled apart in telophase II, they create different genetic outcome. If you go back to Mendel, the idea of the chromosomes is simple. If you have two chromosomes that are the same, you create homozygote. If you have a variation, you create a heterozygote. Let use an example, let say that blue eye color is coded by BB and brown color by bb. If you cross the parents that are homozygous for blue and brown eyes (which is two alleles that are the same, BB or bb) the offsprings will be all blue eyed since I designated blue eye color as dominant and this one will be expressed in all the offsprings. T.H.Morgan made some interesting studies with eye color in fruit fly. "Crossing of a white-eyed male fly with a red-eyed female. The offspring were all red-eyed, but the second generation was 75% red-eyed and 25% white-eyed. Furthermore, the white-eyed flies were all male, and there were twice as many red-eyed females as red-eyed males"(The Path to the Chromosome Theory of Heredity). The support for this theory is that presence of disjunction. If the chromosome doesn't separate from its homologous chromosome or the sister chromatids don't separate you end up with monosomy which can give you problems like Turner syndrome. If there are more chromosomes, you end yo with trisomy, or monosomy and an example would be Down syndrome. The take home message would be that Sutton and Boveri combined Mendel's work, added chromosomal behavior to it and named it The Chromosome Theory of Heredity/Inheritance. Where heterozygous chromosomes (XY) will give you a male which is totally different from homozygous (XX) female. Sorry for throwing so much at you, if anything is unclear just let me know, I will try to do better job explaining. I am just not sure how much genetics you know, so I left it as you have a pretty good idea of what is going on. Hope that helps.
