Language of Love

Ugghh...I need an asprin. My head is spinning cartwheels with adjectives, conjunctions, pronunciation and verb usage tonight. Because of the storm brewing outside I had some free time to sink my teeth into a refresher course in French online. I started with a rudimentary 50 questions to rate where I stand. For not using the language in 20 years I got 50% right. Not half bad in my book but a far cry from where I used to be. With so much memorization needed for things like past, perfect, future, conditional, perfect subjunctive blah, blah, blah, I can understand why I had to repeat my senior year regents exam 3x to pass. Fortunately, About.com online has everything I need to polish, perfect and print out what I'll need overseas. No dropping by a bookstore, library or ordering tapes to get reaquainted with the language of love... at least that's what people who can speak it call it. It might take a 12 month immersion class for me to get to that point.
