My male friends raised an eyebrow when I told them that I'm taking French for intersem one as language modules are very difficult to score and you can even fail if you cannot cope with the subject. My female friends were happy for me when they knew that I was taking French as they felt it was good exposure. I'm currently experiencing both waves of emotion as I'm struggling with the language as conjugation and vocab can be a real bitch but it's an experience as I got to know more about the language, culture and place through my French teacher and she's a very good teacher as she's patient and will not put you off by scolding. Next week is exams and I hope I can clear the subject.
The French lessons have also taught me something. My travels are pathetic as I will be shell shocked and dumbstruck when the teacher asks us about the places in the textbook and most of my classmates have no clue about the places. I guess the only places we are most likely to know outside Singapore is Malaysia and at most Bangkok and this has made my resolve to travel once I start work as I do not want to die without experiencing the magic of the world.
