    Did you take spanish or french or whatever in middle school? Was it hard or easy? Did you pass the class? Are you still taking spanish/french/whatever in school?

    ("¿Cómo usted se llama?" ...."How do you call yourself", I think...."Me llamo Leah." ....That's how I reply...I think...)
    Your teacher gave you homework that was in Spanish your first day of class? Wow. Even the directions?

    And yeah, you totally used the response I gave you.

    Edit: Oh yeah. I took two courses of Spanish, I and III, and I tested out of II. If I try, I can speak it pretty fluently.

    I took spanish in 8th grade. I did good in it for the first quarter, but it got boring, and I started sleeping in class. I must say, after I started taking naps in class, I started getting bad grades... whodov thunk.

    I've been taking French for 5 years now. My class thinks I'm sort of French prodigy, but wait 'til they see me in action this year in AP(Advanced Placement courses are college-level courses) French. There'll be 0 english in class at all time. Darn. G'luck with Spanish.

    I'm going to my third year of Spanish this year. I still don't speak it very fluently, and slack off, but everyone in all of my Spanish classes have been so absolutely stupid in comparison to my slackass-ness that I generally excel and have the favor of the teachers.

    The language is pretty boring, but y'know. Looks good for colleges and stuff.

    No, I never took Spanish or French in school. I was always required to learn Indonesian. I think it's because Indonesia is Australia's neighbour and lots of Australians travel to Indonesia.

    I was! Always, in all the schools I went to, the language we had to learn was Indonesian.

    I took 2 years of high school German. I got lucky with a really great interesting teacher that made it really incredibly easy. Then I had to have a foreign language in college... it was between Spanish and French. My prof was a total jerk. I barely got a C. It was hard to understand. He thought I would get it as fast as everyone else if he just screamed at me in French.... all 12 happened to have had 3-4 years of French prior to the 1st semester. French sucks. Deutsch ist bessier.

    Indonesian. Wow. I've heard that's a bit hard.

    I took french from Kindegarden to grade 9. I quit this year because I had taken a grade 10 course, it's a hard language (written grammar wise though) and I'm getting really sick of it. >.<

    I'd love to learn spanish though.

    French is really hard. I've been doing it for like...4 years + now and I suffer. But after I do my GCSEs I'm dumping it.

    i had taken 2 years of french. aced them the whole way through, payed attention an got goodtest scores.
    unfortunately i never really learned anything.
    thus i never retained interest. so i switched to italian.
    i like the language.really. but i had a moron of a teacher.
    and so i lost interest in taking the course, and never went further with it.
    though, i had graduated after that, so i could'nt have gone further there if i wanted.

    I'm like, Mr. Arsonist 2000. And 2003, if you saw my beautiful work on assorted AOL CDs. I've kinda not been up to my old form in 2004, but here's hoping.

    I had a choice to learn French or German, and I chose French.

    I had a really good teacher for the first while. Then in my 5th year he left and instead I had a really bad one after that. I just lost interest in it from there on in

    And now I'm trying to learn Russian.
