Time to go turn in this term paper proposal for Africa class. Comparing what historians of the 1920's and 1930's thought of Liberia to what current historians think. Basically addressing the main question of "what happened to dem boys".
Should also address the question what on earth did they do to get stuck with imperial units of measurement.

That's what I had been thinking for too long so I decided to start.
I started it 6-7 years ago, took one course here, then I took one in university, the level was terrible thou, very basic! Now here I can't find higher level. I want to finish it some day, then start Spanish and Portugese, I am sure these two will be easier to learn after learning Italian..

I think I'll have an option to choose one more language when or if I reach 3rd year at uni. Not many choices though, I think it's either French or Italian.
For what it's worth the self-learning community and people who are really serious about learning languages generally agree that learning a language in school is relatively pointless because it's not intensive enough and you have too many people in one class. I can attest to that, after 3 years of French and getting good grades I don't know jack. In fact I have a better grasp of Italian already, after 3 weeks.

So you're much better off learning by yourself.

Fair enough. Many people (acutally 80%) with who I went to highschool don't know English even after 8 years. Are you learning at home as well? Or trying it at least.

They got signed by Chelsea, who then had to fire their sporting director for having nothing left to do for the next couple years. :pado:

You start learning Italian from now (outside school ofcourse), and you will secure the A+ at university at the time, that what happened with me easily!

When I was learning French I didn't do a damn thing out of school. And it shows.

Now I started a little while ago on my own with tapes and teach-yourself programs and it seems to be working.

Nope. I've never seen the attraction.

And if it is the catching the bird on your arm you are talking about, is it not called falconry?
