Welcome to Gaia! ::

You are aware Pikmin 3's been shown, aren't you?

Due out in Spring 2012.

I DUNNO WHAT WII U GAMES TO GET. My library is going to consist of Nintendo Land and nothing else for several months, I bet.

That sounds like a harrowing, yet enriching experience.

I don't think I'd advocate the immersion approach for kids, among kids, though. Kids can be mighty cruel. How'd it work out for you, though?

I wasn't until I just googled it and stuff. And now I'm giving my wallet a very disappointed stare for not having anything inside it.

I was in immersion for one year, and then was put into an entirely French system where like 90% of kids had parents that actually spoke French at home. I did not. Super confusing. And I didn't really like French that much and haven't been willing to put in more effort than anyone else has to just because it's not my first language. I LOVED English class because it was the only thing that made any ******** sense. xd

I kept going to completely French school until the end of high school because I'd made friends there. I have always been too nervous to talk much to my (non-English) teachers because of my tendency to forget words mid-sentence or stutter, which prevented me from asking for help or asking questions much. Also, I ended up not taking any maths or science classes that weren't required because they were harder to understand in French, without getting help when something was confusing. I had a chemistry teacher who pretty much whispered AND had a really French accent and who was nearly impossible for me to understand, and only managed to pass because my friends and family would help me study in English. As a result, I can't take any sciencey courses now that I'm in an English college because I don't have the prerequisites. I do not recommend it.

I'm sorry it sucked so hard for you. I've always thought being bilingual to any degree would be a super cool thing.

In the states, if you don't pass the competency tests you can take 0 credit classes or wait and take the test again the next semester. Is there no such thing in canada?

Also, do they not do general ed. in canada? (I the US, even at a 4 year institute the first 2 years of any program are usually almost identical.)

I was first pretty peeved that rayman legends doesn't come out till march, and then I remembered I probably won't have a wiiU before then.

Rage averted.
