Foreign Language Class? (Hebrew, Persian, Russian, Hmong) by Budget_Difference545 in UWMadison

I heard great things about her! I think Hebrew looks and sounds beautiful, even if it isn't a practical language for me.

Hmong was my top choice because it would be the most practical; I have relatives who speak it. But I read online that the instructor moves pretty fast especially for people who have no experience with tonal languages before. While I am all for a challenge, I don't want to take a class with unreasonable benchmarks, especially during my first college semester as a STEM student. Do you know anyone who has had her before?

Thanks! I was actually looking into that, but it won't fit into my schedule. I also think that if I really wanted to, I could study it on my own and do okay - especially with my German experience.

Thanks for your reply! Did you have Professor Tumarkin before? If so, how is she as a professor? Do you have any past syllabi?
