<p>“I have a friend who is big into French, and she started out last year taking a pretty challenging French class as well as Beginning Arabic and she gave up on Arabic after Fall semester (surrendering her language credit for the class, not that she needed it). Anyway, this is all a roundabout way of saying that beginning languages at Wellesley are pretty big commitments.”</p>
<p>aww crap! that’s exactly what i was planning on doing first semester… a high level french (hopefully) and beginning arabic (or maybe another language).
is it just the intro language courses that have such an intense schedule? would it be easier if i started learning another language that’s more similar to french, like spanish or italian??</p>
