I have dyslexia and severe anxiety. Itssince dyslexia is a "language" based disorder so I have been dismissed out of every language requierment ever, being told "you cant do it." Now, in order to pass college I have to take two semesters of a language. This is where the pannic attacks come in. I have attened two language classes and withdrew after a day. Just the act of going launched me into weeks of crying, thereapy, and at one point calling my parents to pull out of school. I feel like I am a brick wall... I could never learn that stuff... and with a 4.0 average I cant fail. This is something thats been haunting me for three years and next week is my last chance to sign up for spanish 101. I feel like a crazy person just saying this! But I have severe anxiety that I cant learn another language, or that doing so will be exchusiatingly painfull (3 hr/day tutoring, hw all day long, ect). This is not entierly language spacific, as I have a breakdown everytime I sign up for classes worrieng about every free period, the difficulty of the class, and ultimitly deciding I cant handel it, but spanish is the ultimate worry. Sign-language is not an option. I dont know that anyone out there can relate, but any advise might help me through the most difficult thing I have ever done. I have to do this guys.... or I cant graduate. I cant pull out this time. Anyone out there can relate? Has anyone else learned a language thats dyslexia? Which languages and programs are best? Sorry for the long post, this is my first time

If you have AIM, you can IM me at Ginn182
