What OU courses are you doing? AA100 and A150? Why not a language course?
So far i have done AA100, E303 and U214 and am almost at the end of another which is AA306. Technically it is a "language course" but i know you mean foreign language for me. Well I want to do Japanese, and I do kind of like german to be honest that would be my choice if i was to do that, but i thought a degree in english language would be much more advantageous. Jobs in editing, translation, writing etc. Shows a good command of my mother tongue and actual understanding of grammar. I know already from mates that have done the whole JET thing or the like in asia that the average persons knowledge of english in more depth than just knowing how to speak it is borderline retarded. I think not only is it a good thing to actually understand my own language + possible job opportunities with it in almost any field really, I do also have some interest in it plus as i will probably end up teaching english for 1 or 2 years in Japan as a starter job there, its gonna be more effortless for me to learn/understand what im teaching. So for the 120 credits i needed i almost have double now in something i consider pretty useful tho of course i may be wrong about that >< hope not
