<p>I want to take a language class that is not Spanish at Columbia and I was wondering if anyone can provide me with his/his insights on other language classes. </p>
<p>What language was it?</p>
<p>What got you interested in learning that particular language (i.e. parents speak it, want to travel to country where it is spoken, etc)? </p>
<p>How hard was it is learn that particular language (i.e. easy A+ or barely passing)? </p>
<p>How much workload was involved (i.e. 5 hours every night or just classroom time)? </p>
<p>Who was your instructor and how was he/she? </p>
<p>Have you found that knowing another language beforehand was helpful or even essential in learning this particular language?</p>
