Considering French ab initio at Uni?
Are you off to University later this year and wondering whether taking up a language from scratch there might be a great extra to have on your CV?
Many universities are running an ab initio language option which enables students to have a go at learning a foreign language without risk for a year - or if they really like it to go on to get joint honours.

Opting for a language at some stage at Uni can open up all kinds of doors both during and after your degree and will give you the necessary linguistic prowess to revolutionise your French holidays forever (perhaps you too could convince the harbourmaster at St Jean Cap Ferrat to take you out and let you have a go at steering a beautiful speedboat!)...
