<p>How many people happy that they are exempt? How many people dreading the 4 semesters of language classes? How many excited?</p>
<p>Any comments or insights are welcome.</p>
<p>Well, I’m just a lowly GS acceptee. I’ve taken a two semesters of Korean at a US based college, and completed two semesters of an immersion program at a university in Seoul. I was one semester away from being granted matriculation to the university. Unfortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to keep my proficiency up the past years.</p>
<p>Now, I’m debating on whether to continue my Korean studies or start another language. It would be East Asian, either Japanese or Chinese. I’d like to have the triple combo someday if you get my drift. In my opinion, no class is more fun than one about foreign language. I’d be overjoyed to start anew.</p>
<p>I’m assuming that you are a native Korean speaker. Then aren’t you required to find a third language? I thought that your mother tongue wouldn’t count as a “foreign” language.</p>
<p>I’m not sure. Maybe it’s just any language other than English?</p>
<p>Well, you know what they say about assumptions. I’m not native. ;-)</p>
<p>^sorry, so are you an Iraqi foreign student in Korea? (i hope this assumption is closer to the truth 
)</p>
<p>U.S. Army, I attended the Seoul uni. after my initial contract. But I recently got recalled and sent to Iraq. The worst part is that I have no interest in learning Arabic!</p>
<p>"Well, I’m just a lowly GS acceptee. "</p>
<p>I think it’s great that C is opening its doors to people from all walks of life. I (and the C community) will look forward to the diversity you’ll bring to the campus.</p>
