Your name is the hardest word to say because you can't change it, or at least that is something that I have heard. I tried to do Spanish in school but it was too difficult and nerve-racking. There was class participation everyday and I failed because I wouldn't speak in the exercises. I eventually got my language credits in community college, with ASL. I went up to ASL 3 and I really enjoyed it. I don't know if you have the option to take ASL at your school, but I would recommend it if they do.
