I have enjoyed learning language studies with the open university. I think I have managed to achieve what I set out to do, which was to greatly increase my understanding and knowledge of the french language.
I have learned to speak a reasonable amount of french, enough to get by with while on holiday in France or keeping in touch with french friends.
At the same time I have also improved on my english language too, especially on my writing skills. I am still deciding whether or not to continue next term in english, this would just be to consolidate my english skills.
It has been a long journey with difficulties as a carer to contend with along the way. but It would have been impossible for me to have studied in a brick university or college, living so far away from the city and having to travel daily. There is no way that would have worked out.
Distance learning, part-time on the internet, with the 'Open University' has been the best option available in my circumstances. So this was a fantastic opportunity!
I would certainly recommend it to anyone who has caring responsibilities at home, especially if you have a busy schedule and it is difficult to find time to travel by commuting from home to the city.
My family have also been very understanding and have been willing to help out when necessary.
Learning languages has greatly enriched my life and I am very glad to have achieved it at last!
