About Café Pierre Languages & Venue details

Several months ago, I blogged about my studying Spanish through Rosetta Stone (previous post ). Well, now I am taking it to the next level.

This year, Fisher, through the OSU Center for International Business Education and Research (), is offering . The class is for “graduate students who need to learn Spanish for career purposes and who want to work comfortably in a Spanish-speaking business environment.” We will be learning Spanish for the entire school year with a one-week immersion trip during spring break.

While I did progress with Rosetta Stone, I don’t think I was learning quickly enough – not necessarily the software’s fault (maybe a little :p). I did push it off whenever I felt overwhelmed  by schoolwork, which was a lot of times. With a grade on the line, there is a little bit more extra motivation to really keep up with learning the language. With classroom instruction, conversation hours, and online learning, it will be a lot of work but also a lot of fun!

CIBER has also mentioned that a more advanced course may be offered next time. They may even open it up for Fisher alumni. I’ll definitely consider taking it if I end up in Columbus after graduation.

Now back to doing my worksheets.
