<p>what did you think about it? I'm not very good at spanish but I manage to maintain A's. I have no interest in languages in college and I'm horrible at listening and writing though this could improve. I will have 5 AP's next year not counting Spanish and I really don't want to take it. I'm a sophomore and will have taken 2 years of spanish, although some colleges recommend 4. Opinions?</p>
<p>I’m taking AP Spanish Language as a Sophomore next year. You should ask your current teacher and the AP teacher what you may need in terms of skills and how you are doing. It’s better to wait and get a good score than get it out of the way and get a bad one. You generally need to be very proficient in the language in all aspects, reading, writing, listening, and speaking.</p>
<p>You may want to browse through an AP Prep Book. See if anything looks familiar or learnable.</p>
<p>Why don’t you just take Spanish 3 and 4? Why AP Spanish?</p>
<p>I took 1 and 2 in middle school, 3 and 4 in HS, so AP is next</p>
<p>When colleges recommend 4 years of foreign language - they mean 4 classes. So you have already fulfilled your “4 years” recommendation/requirement. I see no reason to take AP Spanish if you really don’t want to. You’ll be totally fine.</p>
<p>thanks, Ohio!
I just wasn’t sure because I’m not going to transfer credits from MS, so maybe they might not think I technically took 4 years of FL, although I’m at the proficiency level of 4 years worth of classes. I’ll have to talk to my counselor, but yeah I don’t want to take AP Spanish so I probably will end up taking something else.</p>
<p>Really? I thought they wanted four years. </p>
<p>My friend is fluent in French and took the French AP class freshman year, but she still has to take Latin (or another language) for at least two years (sophomore and junior year, preferably senior year too since colleges like three years of a foreign language).</p>
<p>Although that might just be because our school’s graduation requirements require us to take two years of a single foreign language…</p>
<p>Well I have heard the same thing as Ohiomom stated from several senior members, so I would think that 4 levels should be enough.</p>
