Took a couple years of Spanish in high school - never made below a 95 or so on anything.

Can't speak it worth a damn now (21 years old, college junior working on psychology/pre-medicine.)

Taking French in the Fall (didn't want to take Spanish again!) - obviously, applied practice and immersion is the best way to go there.

But for those of you that have learned a language in a non-university, non-"everyday" setting and to the point where you were reasonably competent with it, what language was it, and how did you do it?

Just wondering.
