Well, I also had to talk French, for a 1/2 hour a day, at the after school group ( during milk and cookies ) I went to, in my grammar school years, but that was mostly just please and thank you and stuff like that.

I really would HATE to tell you just how long it's been, since I was in high school. LOL

Learning any language, after a certain age, is extremely difficult. Our brains are set up to learn any and all languages, easily, up to around 16. After that, it gets harder and harder and harder.

Have you tried records/tapes?

Did you take any languages in high school and college?

I know Spanish and German but don't know any Germans or Spaniards.. Hehehe.

Now I have new friends in France who would like for me to learn French. They are very pro-American people who are interested in moving to the US.

I'm using tapes but it doesn't seem to be helping. I really don't want to take a class at this late stage but it looks like I might have to.

Thanks for the input.
