--- End quote ---
I'm hoping I can test out of it, but yes, on the basis of my high school record, I would be doing it from scratch. From what I hear though, the PhB people are pretty lenient with this kind of thing.
--- Quote ---Because that knowledge would put you ahead of pretty much everyone else :P if I recall correctly, passe compose was pretty much the hardest thing we learned for level 1 French.

Really? Well, even though I know passé composé, the future-tense-with-aller-thing, and so on, I still lack really basic vocab in some areas. I also really struggle with numbers, all of which, I imagine, would be more important in a basic conversation class. But anyway.

--- Quote ---Also, about starting French from scratch. I'd like to do some study this month, what should I do in terms of French? 'Cause I really have no clue where to begin haha.

Kendraaaa - this book is hard to find, but it is absolute gold: [i]French for Reading[/i] by Karl C Sandberg. (The link goes to amazon.com). Basically, it is supposed to teach you everything you need to know to read academic French with ease. I haven't finished it - I'm only about a third of the way in - but even at this stage, it has been quite useful. I tracked down one lone copy at Borders in Melb Central, but they don't seem to carry it anymore.
edit: fixed your link

It's a book of reading for each week produced by Monash. You can buy them at the bookshop.
jejak and kendra - I'll see if I can find a copy of the level 1 French syllabus when I get home (am at work atm)
