<p>I get mostly A's, but I can't seem to get one in spanish. I'm signing up for junior year classes now, and I don't know whether I should keep taking spanish or switch to another language. Is it better to keep taking spanish and get a B, while showing commitment, or give up on it and take another language and get an A? I'm also thinking about majoring in economics in college, but I won't be taking AP Economics until senior year. Do I need to take it junior year in order to major in it, or do the grades not matter for your major?</p>
<p>A) Why do you think you’ll get an A in another language if you can’t get one in Spanish? Besides French, Spanish is one of the easiest languages schools offer.</p>
<p>B) Stick with Spanish anyway. You won’t learn enough in only two years to be considered really “proficient,” so what’s the point unless you feel like continuing it in college?</p>
<p>C) One B isn’t going to kill you. Hell, it won’t even scratch you.</p>
<p>D) Your high school classes don’t affect your major at all. At most institutions, you don’t decide a major until your junior year of college, so take Economics senior year if you want.</p>
<p>I took chinese in middle school and I’m about AP level, so I’m pretty sure I can get an A in it.</p>
<p>and thanks for the tips</p>
<p>Well, I don’t take Chinese, but I know that languages in high school are a whole other ball game. Anyway, again, unless you plan on continuing Chinese in college, then switching now would be pointless.</p>
<p>Ask the teacher to evaluate why you cannot get an A in his/her class.
Are you not taking enough time to memorize vocabulary lists?
Are you not doing the homework? in class work?
Perhaps you did not get a good foundation in Spanish 1 and cannot conjugate because you never learned the basics.
Perhaps you do not understand the parts of speech enough to know when to use the correct conjugation, plurality, etc.
Work with your teacher, they want you to succeed.</p>
