Hoping to start Chinese (Passport) this year because I will be travelling to China October next year and want to learn the basics! :smile:

Ooh very brave doing Chinese, best of luck :smile:

I wouldn't mind doing Russian, might have some practical use if my fears of uprising Russian pirates becomes real...

It's like accommodation roulette! I'm absolutely shocking at pool haha. It wouldn't take me too long to get to a playable level, but I have hit myself in the face twice when I last played. Don't worry, I do'nt know how I did it either...

Ooh and may I ask when you sent your accommodation application and how long it took for them to reply? I'm impatient! Thanks :smile:

errr I submitted my application in may lol but they didn't start looking at insurance choices until last Thursday and I got called today to say they were looking at mine :smile:

so mine took approximately 5 days until they contacted me :smile:

Reminds me of deliveries from Amazon through super-saver which says it's expected to come somewhere between 2015-2020 and it arrives about 2 days after I ordered it, my own impatience bugs me when a date's specified D:

Assuming I don't explode with the complications of it all haha. I've been in a permanent state of confusion since results day! Is it a silly question asking if you've got a wristband of doom? :P

I shall hopefully be studying German with Translation in the coming month, just wondering if anybody is doing something related to languages, be it German or any other language. Coming from an A2 German class of just one person, I doubt other language students existing :tongue:

Thanks

Language students are few and far between :tongue:

I will be doing French and Linguistics and I'm currently finishing off my OU German module. I can't wait!

I didn't realise this was posted on Uni of Hull. Oh well, I'm still doing languages :smile:
