[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just know that colleges want to see at least 2 years of the same language *in high school*. So if they start a language in 6th grade they will need to either start a new language of take level 4 and 5/AP in HS and those are hard classes! [/quote] OK, you guys can stop fear-mongering with "hard language classes in high school". If your kid has done levels, 1, 2 and 3 in middle school, they'll be prepared to take 4 and 5, then AP(s)... or whatever the progression is, for certain languages like Latin, it's different. The problem is more that some language teachers aren't very good, and you don't know what you'll get from year to year. So if your kid ends up with a poor teacher one year, make sure to get a tutor so they're prepared for the next year. [/quote]
