Latin America
Spain
Latin American Immigrant communities in USA.

What about Spanish interests him?

He just loves the language/culture and foreign language comes very easily to him. The classes don't feel like classes. [/quote]

Then I vote yes! DCUM is awful ... I can't believe people are telling you it doesn't add value. It's adding value to his brain and his quality of life!

+1. Upper level language classes can be incredibly interesting and there are usually opportunities for extracurricular activities as well. At some schools it can also be a tight-knit community.

Not everything is about maximizing a resume. He’s already majoring in math at an Ivy. He’ll be fine. Let him do something he likes.[/quote]

+1 my kid is leaning to second major in German- at an Ivy. College sophomore. The German department fully embraced him - won an award the first year, study abroad fall of sophomore year, encouraged him to apply for full funded diplomatic council in a different German city this summer.  This was a kid who hated the 5 years of Spanish he had pre-college.
