I comprehended way more French than I could speak. :-) I always keep that in mind when I'm speaking with someone with poor English. I can see why she has a dilemma. Even though ds has completed 2 levels of Rosetta Stone and had a hodgepodge of other stuff, he's going to take Spanish I at CC. He's never had much opportunity to converse, so we thought it would be better to go in strong rather than test out of a semester and struggle to keep up (although he'd probably do fine since languages is a strong area for him).
