I nailed them!
Introductory Psychology: 74
Human Growth and Development: 62
Clarification: I did take French in High School, and did very well in it. They, however, don't teach you very much in H.S. and that was years ago. So, no, I didn't actually learn everything in two days, but if you are wondering here is what I did learn in two days:
1. Increased my vocabulary by 500 words. If I had more time, it could have easily been 1,000.
2. The correct position and situations for using disjunctive as opposed to indirect object pronouns.
3. The French rules for subjunctive (slightly different than Spanish and significantly different than English).
4. Conjugation of both the present and past subjunctive, for both regular and almost all irregular verbs.
5. IF/THEN statements. Similar to spanish, so it didn't take that long.
6. Verbs of perception and the pronoun position. This gets REALLY tricky, but I seem to have an easy time remembering grammar rules, so it was no problem.
7. When and how to use the pronouns "y" and "en."
8. I learned a new class of pronouns. Ironically, I forgot what they were called hilarious but, I learned all of the different rules and exceptions and agreements for using them (dont, duquel, etc).
9. Certain verbs can not have an antecedent object pronoun. That blew my mind!
10. I refined my understanding of the difference between gerunds and present participles in French.
11. Idiomatic uses of "de."
That's about it. At least, all I can remember. I will explain in the specific feedback how I was able to do it all.
