French

So I am planning on taking a beginner's French course at my university this summer because there are no intermediate Spanish courses and no Portuguese courses. This means I will have to put off studying Portuguese for a while... which kind of sucks because I really do love studying it, but French is also interesting. I have gone through a good chunk of the "Easy French Reader" book which gets you reading French right away. It has a story line and there is audio for every chapter. You answer questions in French at the end of every chapter as well. I think this is a good intro to the language... it's not too difficult. But I like to be very confident with grammar even from the near-beginning of learning a language so I have also started going through "Practice Makes Perfect: Complete French Grammar" and it's awesome just like the Spanish PMP books. While reading, though, I feel less confident that I am "pronouncing" all the words in my head correctly... so for this I have bought a couple of things to help my pronunciation which will arrive at my house soon. The class will start in early May so I'm sure I will feel like I have a decent "headstart" which will make me feel much more comfortable in the classroom and lab setting.
