Hardest course you've ever done

C programming is proving to be very challenging, especially at the rate that we are going. A 900 page text book in a semester?!? GAh!

Fluid dynamics here is 800pages in half a semester...

For me it was probably 'elasticity and plasticity' about the behaviour of materials under stress and pressure. This might not sound too hard, and I've done similar courses which were pretty easy, but this one

That's not hard at all.

Latin...I just cannot hack latin. Yes, the GCSE is relatively simplistic but the stuff they give us is ridiculous...

Like I said, it doesn't sound to hard, but it was an advanced course, dealing with specific models and a whole bunch of models and equations you had to memorize.

But it was mostly hard since it was also the most BORING course I ever took.

I was under the impression that Chinese was impossible unless you were a native speaker, and really easy if you were.

I know one guy in my school got 100% for his Japanese A2, which he sat without any prep on a whim. Top of the country or something. Useful having a really difficult first language...

chinese is easier than japanese (i learned both) but this is just my opinion. my reasons have to do with the actual usage and not the grammar and vocabulary.
