After I read comments,I always like to trackback to the commentator's blog.<BR/><BR/>This posting on choosing a foreign language is interesting, and to the point. You drew me into the story.<BR/><BR/>My daughter and I are discussing this very issue. To be eligible for certain opportunities, she must take a two year program in a foreign language. <BR/><BR/>She is excited about learning another language, but her class assignments are so rigid that there are not hours in her schedule.

I like it.samccoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820641673301360531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988350683382077886.post-64169751507483170102008-02-12T22:14:00.000+00:002008-02-12T22:14:00.000+00:00Isabelle,Thanks for the comment.

The attitude down this way is often a little too insular and so language has not traditionally been seen as an asset - lets hope we can change this. As you wrote, we aren't expecting students to be native speakers. Language alsways seems to be portrayed as harder than it actually is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
