In 2010 I went on a bicycle trip with a friend. We camped along the way, and didn't have riding clothes, so for most of it looked disheveled and homeless. In Charlotte, a man was walking around begging.. he asked me for money and when I said I didn't have enough to give him any, he looked up and saw what state my clothes and face were in, looked a bit shocked and then tried to hand ME $5. I said I didn't need HIS money, but just couldn't spare my own. He then insisted, saying he made over $100 a day doing what he did. A 2nd homeless person saw this happen and offered to take the gift that I turned down. The beggar was not so willing to give it to him though. A conversation ensued between the 3 of us over who should get the money.

This is pretty specific.. but if you are considering learning a new language, send me a message with your email address and I will send you 1000 words of advice based on what I have learnt in my attempts at it, and hopefully save you some time.
