Are foreign language courses of any importance?

<p>I took German my freshman year and plan to take it all 4 years. It conflicts with some of my other courses however so my councilor and teacher recommended I take it online, which I currently plan to do. The problem is that because of differences in the school course and online course I will have to start in semester 2 of year 1 instead of starting in year 2 of the online course. I don't plan on changing courses because of this but am wondering if seeing on my transcript that I took semester 2 of German twice will hurt my chances of getting in (I did get an A on the school course).</p>
