Further to that Catalan class....

OK, further weirdness, the majority of the reading list for the course, these are recommended readings, but whatever, 8 of the 10 books, are in English.

I actually have an advantage over the majority of the students.  Not only can I manage the Catalan, struggle through all the Spanish, mostly, but I can actually read the readings.

Does this not seem really really weird in a course that is not graduate level?????

I agree, it's definitely unfair that the courses are not in Mandarin (Google translated from Japanese)... At least it would be fair to pretty much everyone :D

Are there books available on this topic in Catalan as well as English?
That's the explanation I get when I complain about the same kind of problem here. GM

This must all be so disappointing! Look forward to hearing what happens next - you are a force to be reckoned with so I am sure you can get some things changed for the better! Strength to your arm and your growl! K x

ElP!!! YESYES YES YES YES, that IS the solution! HEhehehehehehe

GM, NO! Most of them are only in English, though there are some in Catalan...weird eh?

Kate, it is and I am a bit demotivated as a result, I am behind on the work....waste of money if I don't get this sorted out and get off my butt with it.
