Next week, there will be a language tutorial class for students who want to study French. I want to give it a try. How about you?
I would love to study French, but I am currently studying Korean so I might get confused.

Oh, I see. It is my first time studying a foreign language. Is it difficult?
I guess it is not difficult if you are interested in the language you are studying. You can always ask for help from the teachers if ever you get confused, so you don’t have to worry.

That is good to know. Do they usually give language books so that I can also study at home?
Yes, they do. You can also practice with your classmates by having conversations in French. Good luck in your French class.
