French

I need some advice from people taking French as a second/third/fourth/fifth (OMG) language.

I'm considering taking that subject this semester (beginners' level) but a quick glance at it kind of scared me off. Well, most languages look foreign initially, as was the case with Korean, but I just need some opinions from those learning the language.

Are beginners' course on French easy? Is the French language one that is easy to pick up (for a beginner's standard)?

I was contemplating taking Korean and Japanese this semester. However, while conversing in Jap with a friend earlier on, I mixed up some of the terms in these two languages. So I'm kind of scared now and am thinking of taking French in place of Korean (should I find a vacancy).

Lol..both my friends are taking French (Lvl 1) and Jap (one Lvl 1 and the other Lvl 2).
