Dear All,
Thank you so so much for all your comments, it's really kind of you to spend time to reply to me.
I'm really looking forward to the course and yes, I can quite believe it's not going to be easy! I really like learning languages so hopefully I'll be ok. Hopefully the formality of the course and hours of tuition will keep me disciplined, but, yes, Equin0x, chatting to people will help too!
Aisha - I look forward to meeting you and spending time with you!
Mr Niceguy - thanks for your info, really useful to have ideas of what to expect!
Any more comments/ info anyone could provide would be gratefully received!
Thanks, Alice :0)
