<p>On the Common App, there's a question where they ask how many languages you're proficient in, should I put down Spanish since I've been studying it for a while? I'm not fluent, but I'm pretty good and I can understand it usually</p>
<p>No, you should not put that you are fluent in it if you are not fluent in it. While you may have studied it, and you may have a basic understand of the language (like - if you were stranded in a Spanish-speaking country you’d be able to get by), but it is not truthful to say you are proficient in it.</p>
