Part of it was him (he really was a lousy teacher), but part of it was me, too. I also took Russian in college. I did better there (mostly 'B's), but I was only able to parrot things back long enough to do well on the test. I wasn't really understanding and absorbing the material. I certainly didn't retain any of it. Foreign languages are just not an easy subject for me.
The class I'm taking now is being taught very differently from the classes I've had before. I guess I just needed to find a class format that best suited my learning style, which is what I was fortunate enough to do here. I'm actually having fun in a foreign language class for the first time ever. I hope this instructor teaches the next class in the series, too.
