First off let me start by saying this my first post and I think forums like this are a great idea... I just recently went back into the cell phone business - a few years back i was catching on to spanish enough to understand and to get the basics across - however its one of those use it or lose it deals so im needing some help or more less some refreshing. Can someone kind of go over the basics. A majority of the time I know what to say to my spanish/hispanic customers and they generally understand - but I want to improve
