One of my favorite bloggers, Ta-Nehisi Coates of The Atlantic, is studying French in his thirties. He has written several posts on the subject so you might enjoy reading them. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a list of tags or archives for his blog.
Thanks.
I'm pretty skilled with languages, they've never been too much of a challenge for me. J - not so much. But he'd be the one taking classes, I'd be the one learning on my own to offer him support. If he actually ends up doing the BBA thing, that is.
He already has a Master's degree, so he doesn't need the BBA so much, but I guess he just as well might take the couple of missing classes and the extra foreign language, because it's not a huge task anyways. It'd be 16 ECTS points of French and three essays, so it's just one year, max.
Now I just hope he'll really end up taking French and not Spanish. Although I guess my Spanish would benefit from some brushing up, too, so maybe that's not the worst idea, either.
But I really want to learn French, I just don't want to do it alone! Does anyone on Lit want to start studying French online with me?
