In high school I studied spanish, and it was easy. So when I went to college, I decided to learn French, thinking that it couldn't be that hard, but boy was I wrong. I had so much trouble pronouncing the words in French that I had to withdraw from the course twice so that I wouldn't damage my grade point average. I've only remembered a couple of words which infuriates me, because I'm not the type to give up on anything. So when I go back to school this fall, I'm going to take it once again, and hopefully the third time will be the charm!
