Well for the first 3 years of high school i had to learn french >_> then came 4th and 5th year (GCSE years) and we had the choice to drop french, so i did ( like almost everyone in my class :P
BUT the law changed and we HAD to learn it :evil: so now im forced to sit through 80mins a week of french
5 years of leaning the language and i can just about say hello and good bye :roll:
I studied Japanese in college, and spent a year on foreign exchange in Nagoya, Japan. I graduated about four years ago, and I'm currently looking to get into the JET Program (applied once already, and didn't get in).

Did you have to go in externally from your university? Or did they try and help you with getting into JET?

The first time I applied was in 2005, which was a couple of years after I graduated. I wasn't looking to get into JET right out of college, although the most my Asian Studies program was ever involved in the process was in getting JET Program recruiters to visit. There's really not much they can do anyway besides giving you letters of recommendation and helping you complete your application. If you're able to make it to the Washington DC area, the JET Program holds a good orientation for the whole process around October of each year, which is also the time when the applications become available.
I am from Iran, but I am Armenian, I am not Iranian. So I speak Armenian and Farsi. Now I live in Holland. I speak Dutch and at school I study German and English.Â

Washington is a little out of the way....you know...given that I live in England, lol.
I studied Spanish in high school, and am going to take Spanish as my foriegn language in college. I would love to take Japanese, but I figure that in the end Spanish is the more practical choice and since I already know some of it it would also be the easiest way to go.
I am fluent in English, French, Spanish, Punjabi, Hindi, Japanese, and Thai. I know how to write, read, and speak all languages. Lol, I'm senti-lingual. (7 languages)
I've taken French since Kintergarten. I'm pretty fluent, I just have trouble understanding T.V., though I only get Canadian French TV and I speak the Parisian dialect. I'd also like to learn German one day. à mon avis le français est la plus belle langue du monde!:D

Hows did you manage that? I envy people who had access to being billingual at an early age.
