I just don't understand, that "Beginner" French class is so difficult! 80% of what the teacher said was in French, and 80% of my classmates konw French in certain degree. I guess that's because of the mandatory French lessons kids need to take till Grade 9. There are a few students who can introduce themselves in fluent French--it's not just ordinary introduciton, but the teacher gave 15 questions where they need to answer and include in their "speech"!
I was totally a foreigner in the class. I really want to quit.
But thinking about it more... you won't get to learn a language unless you really have to use it--I guess (or hope) the teacher is forcing us to come over this anxiety and step out and make mistakes. Then learn from them.
But honestly, I don't really like this method. Anyways, I'll do my best to get over this hurdle.
The teacher gave us a lot of good resources where we can learn French on our own. Probably starting next term I'll start learning on my own.

My very first lesson at Alliance Francaises decades ago was completely in French. In fact the whole Beginners I course was. That's the best way to learn. You don't want to learn to translate; you want to learn the language out right. For example, I still can't handle Fahrenheit because I never learned to experience temperature in Fahrenheit. I still have to translate, say 75F to C, to know how warm it actually is.
Don't despair. You can do it.

Thanks for the encouragement! Even worse.... I'll have a class on Italian tonight.... honestly, I'm note gifted in languages :(
Let me predict that you'll mix the two up!! :-) Hang in there. You'll be fine!

Wanna say the same... hang in there! Just imagine the day when you become a great chef speaking French and Italian fluently. Pray to the Lord for zeal and courage. That day is all within God's hand.
Thanks Dan Dan!
