Anyone take a Language Worshop in the summer?

<p>I thinking of either French, German, or Latin. I am intimidated at the pace 10 units in 10 weeks (2+ semesters in 2 months). Has anyone done it? If so, what class?</p>

<p>I am applying to Grad School for English this Fall and language experience is a big factor in decisions. I have 2 semesters of Spanish of which I did bad in (B, C) and one semester of French (B+) as CC, but I don’t remember anything from French.</p>

<p>I am thinking of the French one because I am hoping it will spark my memory, its the last grade that Grad Schools will see so I kinda need a good grade and it will be helpful for the Language requirement that English Grad programs require.</p>

<p>I am trying to figure out (A) which language is the best to take, (B) How easy/hard the class is and (C) Can i take another class on top of it (which I know the answer is prolly no)</p>

<p>I have taken these types of classes twice. They are a lot of fun but require a great deal of study. I would think French would be easiest. Latin is quite difficult, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are strongly drawn to it for some reason.</p>

<p>I’ve taken an intensive Latin summer school course at UCLA. I found it to require a tremendous amount of rote memorization. I earned an A in the course, but it required a great deal of effort.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. My original preference was German, but since its full I think I’m going to do French. I am hoping that it won’t be an issue that I took 1 semester almost 3 years ago at my CC (it’s not on my Cal transcript) and the only thing I remember is “my name is…” .</p>

<p>Latin seems interesting, but I don’t know if I can do 9am-5pm M-F, French is 3 hours shorter, 9am-2pm.</p>

<p>I think it should work out for me, whenever I take a language class during the semester I am so focused on the grade and not actually learning the language. While I am going to focus on the grade for Grad School purposes I feel that I will be able to spend more time studying because I won’t be distracted with other classes.</p>
