Two things I'd like to say.
First of all, I'd like to apologise to an anon who asked me a question, a few days ago; it wasn't my intention to offend, nor condescend.

Secondly, after some hesitation, I've decided to learn French, in an autodidactic fashion. I have no previous experience with the language, yet it's my intention to be semi-fluent by the beginning of this Summer (a B2 level at least, by EU standards). The reason is my desire to pursue, after my academic years, a diplomatic route of labour; and French is a vital language to learn for that field.
Any tips or advice from you fellows would be appreciated.
