Hello,
I signed up with a course with the HCC. The info they supplied was
thorough - very complete, almost overboard.
The main thing to descide is - is this mode of learning your style.
Are you the sort of person who learns by bantering around the subject
with fellow class mates or can you just read a book and see everthing
as clear as day.
Distance learning is great - if it is right for you.

Warning OT :~)
I (almost) had an argument with one of our prospective new neighbours
(Dordogne)
about learning French. She was of the' "one needs to know the grammar
before
even stating out" whereas I am of the "parrot school of learning" :~))

Looks like your prospective neighbour should be getting a fair few bottles
of wine from you by way of apology.
She is right, however, if she really says "one" as the subject then forget
the wine:-)
You could always adopt the Basil Fawlty way of speaking any foreign language
which is to shout twice as loud in English.
