course is a mad bludge that scales well. i don't know what everyone is talking about, there's almost no work, just reading a book, and i only have one class a week. the speaking is a hundred times easier than continuers. definitely worth doing especially if you don't like lots of work and are good at english. nothing to lose by doing it, and it is actually easier than continuers.
don't listen to these fools, it's easy and takes very little time, and i only started french halfway through year 10
