Yikes! I know the price has been going up even at the CC level, but still. That's almost double what I paid back in '05 at El Camino. That's too bad they won't consider language classes for you, since that'll help tremendously with your career path. I wish I'd remember the 7 years of Spanish I took in middle school and high school, or even the 2 semesters of Japanese. Have you looked into Rosetta Stone? Or is that pretty expensive too?
