5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastico!, April 26, 2001

Alicia (Bellingham, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Opportunities in Foreign Language Careers (Paperback)

I used this book for a paper on foreign language careers and it provided me with absolutely everything I needed to know. The explanations about what you need to be in that field of study and what kind of things you have to put up with were helpful. I would recommend this book for people who want to learn all the pro's and con's about a career in foreign language. It is a straight forward and factful resource.
