Of Foreign Languages and Travel

When I was in the university, I always dreamed of going to Germany for further studies or training. I guess my professors have influenced me a lot especially as they always make mention of good German design schools. So, when it was my time to take up an foreign language elective class, I took up German language with the 'dream' of being able to do a training there.

I did quite well with my class as it's just more on memorizing the German numbers, the gender of things and their basic words. But just like any foreign languages, if you don't get to practice it, you'll soon forget those words. And so I did. All I can remember now is " Danke" thank you and maybe a few of the numbers and things.

I never thought of taking up French as my language elective. But it would have been cool to have taken that subject too. I mean French is known to be the language of the 'elite'. It would be nice to go to France. But if, you're planning to go to France you might want to check out these sites : Sejour thalasso bretagne ( A spa in France ), Cave a vin ( an online French wine), Batteries electroniques and assurance ( an insurance in France)
