It takes at least 500-900 hours of constant study to achieve a “near native” fluency in a language (and that goes for everyone. You are not special, you would not whiz through it faster)

So, idiot, he is not talking about learning a “little french” – the kind you would get from a dozen hours of study, the ability to use a few common phrases like “Where is the bathroom?”. To read at a 16th grade level, you’d need many solid months.

losing. Learn a little English

It really is deeply philosophical and not at all easy. I have read it twice-ish, and don’t even feel like i’ve gotten an eighth of what it has to offer. Lil’ Schemer is also wonderful for getting used to thinking Schematically.
I think it’ll be interesting to take a look at Programmer avec Scheme- I’ve been wanting to learn some French…

If you already know the basics, and you want to learn Scheme, then definitely begin with “How to Design Programs” (HtDP). It is slow paced, very detailed and instructional and it uses the DrScheme environment which is very extended and multi-platform.
