Sorry to hear about your job. Here's a site with creative swearing in Croatian:

I just found out that Coursera, which is an online learning platform that offers university-level classes online (free) is now offering some of their classes in Spanish, French, Italian, and Chinese.

I've noticed in the (English speaking) classes that I've taken that there are people from all over the world - a few of them even had subforums set up for Spanish and Portuguese speakers. There seem to be a lot of Brazilians using the site, especially. A lot of the instructors also subtitle their lectures in a number of languages.

No surprise. We're a plague :P :/ Everywhere you go online the odds are pretty high
you'll meet tons of Brazilians. And the more "social" the platform is, the worse it gets.

Btw, I couldn't find the language courses at Coursera, where should I look for them?

Not a plague. It's just that the country (and educational system) are growing so much. :)

They are not language courses. They are university level courses offered IN other languages. (There should be a frame along the left where you can choose the language the course is in, and the subject category.)

They are partnering with more universities, and some of those universities are in other countries, so naturally they will be in other languages. :)

I just checked this out and now I really want to take a probability course in French. It doesn't start until fall 2013, though! Thank you for the link.

Ah ok then all the better even. I'd be glad to take a course in either French, Spanish or
Italian!

Thanks for sharing, Kerrie! What a big temptation this website is, so many good courses
in English. But where did the frame were you could choose by language disappear to? It
was there yesterday and now I can't find it neither using Chrome nor Mozilla :(
