I have experience.
I had to start with Spanish.
For Indonesian, when my mom's mom visited, I got by on just a few words.
This may be better than majoring in German because they don't seem to do too much, tho there are advanced/literature classes. I think I need to focus on getting my 1st degree this late in the game, tho. What's propelling me on is the idea I will go to college and get a degree because they have them in music.
I'm also using other programs.
I know that the Spanish III and IV students did literature, but I wonder if they needed to use a dictionary to get down meanings of words verbatim.
