I'm thinking of taking a class from the Seattle Language Academy.

Would anyone else be interested in taking either French or Japanese with me? I'd try for Ancient Greek but it is on Mondays and Wednesdays, which makes it a big not gonna happen.

When/How Much is French?

The class is $400 ($395, really...) for a quarter and it is TTh 6:00-7:30 pm Jan 15-Mar 20 Fremont. Total of 30 hours of class.

That's for French 102, which is probably below me all things considered but I'm really, really rusty and the description of the 101 class is full of the whole, "Hi. I am so and so. Who are you?" sorts of stuff.

I would SO TOTALLY love to, but there is no possible way I could.

If you want someone rusty as hell to practice against, though, lemme know.

Dude, most days lately I'm not even boarding a bus to go home by 6pm. There's no way I could leave in time to make it up to Fremont by then two days a week.

My job, it makes the cranky.

I'd love to, as well, and have a similar reason +1. (I can't make the timing, plus the money.)

Are there other places that offer similar courses that you'd be interested in?

Not that aren't college specific and so the timing is even worse. At least not that I've found. It is like finding pottery wheel and kiln time - if I can find it, it is stupidly pricey and hard to get in.

Yeah, I understand. Kiln time is what drove me out of sculpture work.

I need to brush up on my Japanese and satisfy my college foreign language requirement. Are classes Mondays and Wednesdays of every week?

Japanese 102
This lower intermediate class is appropriate for those who have a basic command of the two Japanese syllabaries (hiragana and katakana) and the grammar and vocabulary presented in Japanese 101. Grammatical material covers the basic usage and classification of Japanese verbs and the use of the particles ni, e, to, and kara. Hiragana and Katakana are studied more fully and students learn to read Kana sentences without spaces and recognize common Japanese signs with Kana and Kanji. By the end of the course students will know how to express location, talk about travel plans and daily schedules and activities, extend invitations to friends, make and receive telephone calls, give and receive directions and give basic descriptions of people and things.
Text: Japanese for Busy People (Volume I), chapters 6-12.

Oooh, I can brush up for that level, and T-Th will work for my schedule.

The "out of the country for two weeks of February" factor could suck, and I need to investigate the UW credit question...

If nothing else, this could help me test out of the language requirement.

Looks like reg closes today.

So, even if we're not good for this quarter, we can plan for the next one?

Sounds like a great plan to me.

Sweet. That'll allow you to go to Copenhagen and research the UW credit thing and we can jump in next quarter?

We also both get 10% through work.

Also, it would give me a chance to brush up on my hirigana and katakana.

Man....
I'm thinking it's a bit too much commute for me. :-(

That,a nd I regularly have T/TH Cub Scout activities.

Well, if you can find an alternative, I'd be happy to go south and meet half way. Maybe weekends or something? Fridays? Sean wants to jump into the Japanese, which is all good with me but it probably won't be until next quarter.

I'd love to do Japanese too, but weekends are jacked too more often than not.

Let me illustrate for a moment:
This Sat - Pinewood Derby (till sometime in the afternoon)
1/19 - D&D
1/20 - possibly fly to Austin for work
1/22 - fly back and parent meeting in evening
1/24 - pack meeting
1/25 - company holiday party (unusual, but there)
1/26 - Cub Scout one day camp
AND Leigh commonly goes out Friday nights.

Mon / Wed would be best for me class wise, but it looks like it would suck something mighty for y'all. Hrmmmmmmm.....
Summertime I could do something though, as I don't have the Tu/Th stuff then.

Oh no, I totally understand. My weekends are usually pretty full too. It might be good to wait and search.

And my company party is the 22nd....

A Tuesday night???? WTF?

I could be wrong on that. I can't find the invite thingy right now...

I wouldn't put it past your crazy company.... ;-)
