OK, I have two choices as to which languages to study:
1 - French.
I will have to take FREN 104, a core review class (French-absent for 4 years) and FREN 201, a proficiency class.
Pros - Not hard to write, I'm literate
Cons - No one uses it. Besides Canada and France and some other countries that I don't think I'll be visiting in the near future, as travel is expensive nowadays.
2 - Chinese.
I may have to take CHIN 101 basic, I will HAVE TO take CHIN 102 for writing (I was supposed to have learned traditional in Chinese School, but I'm still illiterate, and this is Simplified anyways) and CHIN 201 proficiency.
Pros - I can speak it, so no problems there. More people speak it.
Cons - I might look really lame learning college Chinese and being Chinese at the same time? I'm bloody illiterate! GARGH! It's not that I'm stupid, it's just that they aren't letters anymore
I really could go either way here.
Opinions?
