[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trolls in this thread probably have kids at JMU, telling OP to step "waaaay back".  What a joke. [/quote]

Not trolls, just reasonable parents trying to produce independent adults. [/quote]

Sometimes adults who are going through hard things need support from their parents, too. If this kid was calling friends and crying, that would be seen as okay, but they can’t call their mom?[/quote]

Crying to your friends repeatedly about French class is a good way to lose friends. Get a grip.[/quote]

I bet it's Spanish because that's supposed to be the "easy" one.
OP you have some really good advice on here. I was a foreign language major and decided my senior year, after junior year abroad and fluency in my second language to take on a new language senior year, for "fun". Guess what. It was daunting to start from scratch, with a 5-day class and things to memorize every single night or you get hopelessly left behind. You don't want to be the one in class not getting it. I dropped the class. I picked up a third language later in a relaxed fun way.

All that to say- it's a requirement. See if they can fulfill it in an easier way. Some people can't pick up languages easily or the format of a language class (you can never slack ever) can be very difficult for some people to manage. [/quote]
