I just registered for my freshman college classes and due to my major (Poli Sci), I have to take 4 semesters of foreign language. The language I am taking is Arabic..Did I just screw my GPA over?
No.
schmitto,
I am studying Mandarin using this guys method. It involves total (total) immersion in the language. The guy achieved fluency (native level listening, speaking, reading and writing) in 18 months, and after 19 months of Cantonese immersion is close to fluency in it as well.
I am aware you might see this as bullshit but I can assure you this method is the ONLY way to study a language. After 10 months of my Mandarin study with this method I can read anything in Chinese (of course, not as well as I can in English, but I still comprehend well) and I can understand almost everything (same here) I hear.
Give it a read. The guy is a good writer and the information on there is invaluable for a learner of any language.
Poli Science.. what possible use is that?
You can get a far more worthy Poli sci degree just from reading this site, no?
I agree with the last part haha. But There is no ‘pre law’ program in Texas Schools, so many people planning on going to law school are advised to do political science first.
