I'm going to be entering college this fall and am currently in the process of registering for classes. I need to figure out what foreign language to take for 2, possibly 3 semesters.
Background: I have been taking Spanish in school for the past 5 years. For the first 3 I learned absolutely nothing and then took up learning Spanish on my own and quickly became fairly proficient in the language. I'm by no means close to fluency but I might be B2. I took the AP Spanish test this year (Scored 1-5. If I get a 1-2 I don't get college credit. 3 = 1 Spanish course. 4 = 2 Spanish courses. 5 = 4 Spanish courses) but I am entirely sure that AT MOST I got a 3, so I'll have to take foreign language in college for 2 or 3 semesters.
I'm trying to figure out what to do and here are my options:
- Take Spanish: The big problem with this is that I won't know my AP Score until July so I won't be able to sign up for Spanish in college until then (If I got college credit I'd be starting in a higher level class). The other issue is that I'd be learning very beginner stuff that I'm already familiar with whereas I just need practice and to use the language. I feel like it would just be a waste of my time, even if it's a free grade.
- Mandarin: Would love to learn Mandarin and I have learned a little on my own. I just don't know how well it would lend itself to a classroom given that much of the language is just rote memorization rather than conjugation and complex grammar.
- Something else (Y'all give me ideas)
So yea. Let me know your opinion
