Speaking of French, I took my second language exam last week. I passed the French in the fall, and this time I was taking the German. German is so much more difficult because the sentences are so much longer and more complicated. You can almost go word for word from French to English, and when you can't you feel like its because English is just being inelegant. I really love to read math in French, it looks so nice. German on the other hand gives you these mountains to climb. You sure feel like a graduate student and like you're learning something really difficult.
