    It's just pretty boring to study but the main thing in learning any language is to listen to it being spoken by it's own people and to learn phrases and idioms that make you look like you understand what you are rambling about :P

    Good point Rockygsd! That's how you learn a language .. live in the country for a year or two, and you'll be fluent if you're social :p.

    well in his case he would Listen to french from the CD that comes with his french book or go to you tube, that prepares you for the orals and gives you phrases that you can use in your essays too.
    I'm sure that if he does spend some time it will payback no matter how unsure he feels about it, I was like that too back in the days lol
