Because I never go away! Hey, these topics bump up the oveall
topic count for the IU board, so it looks like we have more activity
hahaha. :P

Alright, so foreign languages…i suck at them lol. My parents can’t
even teach me their own language; i’m that bad. Hence, when I
go to IU, I don’t want this to bug my GPA goals. I’ve been studying
spanish at high school, but had struggles with it (only went up to
spanish 2 and had to repeat).

I heard that Japanese was easy, and that Russian was easy because
its pace is ridiculously slow (since it’s a hard language to teach). What
are your opinions on what you heard about the foreign language classes?
I know IU has a billion languages available hahah. I just want the A.
I really could care less about learning the language. Show up to class,
study basic stuff, get an A. There, lol. How would you say the Spanish/jap/russian/whatever languages are at IU, from your personal
experiences, friends, and from overall reputation?

Another question: Does anyone have any materials from their freshman
year courses online for a basic business pre-req that I can study for
before the year stars?

Also, what books are used for freshman classes? Thanks!

P.S. So &(&(#$@# ***ed off that Standard Level exams on IB don’t
count for credit. W/e, i digress.
