LEarning French
 
I've always wanted to do it, where can I go say one night a week and learn it?

Any ideas?

Did you ever want to learn to fly? I can give you details on that one. Paragliding / microlights?

What about Russian though; that's useful around the place here :D

Get the DS learning jobby, it's pretty good at getting you started apparently, especially with the vocab...but that's not what you were asking for was it... :D

I think learning a foreign language that you are not going to use on a frequent basis is fairly useless...you really need to be subjected to it and practise a lot...one night a week won't do much good if for the rest of the time you are not going to speak it...

just always wanted to, I switched schools when I was 13 and my new school was a year ahead in french so I couldn't carry it on, I've been to france a few times and spoke small amounts, plus at my new job here, we've got lebanese, syrian etc etc - they all speak it, lad I work with speaks english, arabic, pakistani and indian, almost everyone speaks another language - I hate the way typical English Sun readers are 'we're english! we can go anywhere and people undertsand us', I don;t want to speak just one language.
