[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For learning a foreign language, I'd recommend 3 ie age three. Starting at 12 or 13 or 14 makes it difficult to be truly fluent. I think this four years of a language thing goes with "we like to see four years of band, four years of the hardest sciences, and four years of the hardest maths", while demonstrating passion for something unique and starting a charity in a developing nation, while qualifying to go to the Olympics. If your kid doesn't want to do a language at college, check if the schools on their wishlist have exemptions if they do four years or do well on the sat Il or AP exam.[/quote] Taking a language in high school is not always about attaining fluency. It can also be about exposure to a language and its culture, literature, and history. Not everyone has the ability to become fluent, but most people can learn a lot about another country. It is part of becoming an educated person. [/quote]
