Who takes French at age plus 73?

Senior tip - Learn a new language or brush up on an older one. This senior, who is older than I am, still takes educational courses to keep up on his French.  I am inspired.

Recently I received the following comment from a senior reader. The comment referenced my blog on Osher educational programs for seniors.

"Bob, we don’t happen to have an Osher supported OLLI program right near us (I think KU is the closest), but our local University (Missouri Western State U.) offers a no-tuition option for seniors 65 & older.  

We’ve taken advantage of regular university courses in French to try to keep up our skills in that language.  

Lots of other options in virtually all fields.  You have to pay the student fees, but no tuition and you can take the courses for credit or audit them which we have done.  Your blog readers likely have access to local universities or community colleges that offer similar deals for seniors.  Not only do you learn, but you get to meet some great folks in the teaching profession and spend class time with some pretty cool younger folks as well."

Do you have similar experiences you wish to share?
