The Language is the Course.

Ever notice how some people love foreign languages?  Have you, yourself ever studied a foreign language?  Perhaps you tried, and the result was disappointing.  It should be easy - a baby can do it - but you can't.  It's from such thinking that I developed the theory that for (insert name of language) the course is the language.  If you are studying French,  everyday is full of French words, French phrases,  French literature, by golly, the whole thing is French!  After you have stumbled around the French course, there is only one conclusion.   The subject of the course is French and you must confront the beast or you'll never conquer it.   So friend, my first postulate is:  sometimes, the language is the course.  [This would be a good time to look up "postulate."]
