    Yello :D

    I was looking into doing Arts next year in UCC and was wondering if anyome had any info/personal experience of any Language courses? :)

    I was thinking of French and Spanish myself and was just wondering about difficulty and what sort of careers you can get by the end of it?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hey, I'm not doing any of these courses you're interested in. But I do enjoy the occasional backflip. :)

    Doing LCS myself, French and German though. Personally, I find doing 2 languages at once very manageable, and every single day I use at least 3 languages.

    You have a good bit of choice in the modules, and you'll have translation classes at some point (really great, only from experience avoid "Introduction to Specialist Translation" like the plague.)

    With regards to jobs, multilingually competant people have a great chance in finding work if the statistics are to be believed, but I'm not finished yet, so I really can't say much.

    It's important to work consistently and do your best, if only for the fact that you cannot bull**** your way out of linguistic incompetency
