BBC Teaches French
So I’m trying to find a cheap and easy way to pick up a little french. It doesn’t have to be conversational as honestly I wonder how conversational you can be after studying a language for 3 months, but I’d like to be at the very least be able to feel like I’m trying. There is, I think a bit of pressure for the American traveling to France to have a better grip of the language than other places. Given one, their thoughts about Americans and two, the rumors that vendors will often try to rip off people who don’t speak the language. I’m not really sure whether the second is true but I’m also not sure I’d like to find out especially if I’m there alone.
The BBC lessons are fairly harmless emails that come into your box once a week. Sort of a constant reminder to stay on track. Its supposed to be completed in a three month time, which is quite fitting for my needs.
