Extracurricular-Foreign Languages

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>In the Extracurricular section of the Common App, you can choose "Foreign Language" as an activity.
I have been teaching myself Russian and Hindi for the past 2-3 years, and I wanted to put that onto the application. I am planning on majoring in Linguistics and Foreign Languages, so I thought that putting this on would help show my interest in this field. </p>

<p>However, is there anything I need to do to prove that I have been spending my time on this? There were not any standardized tests that I could take or really anything that I could do. On the application, I just put:
I am teaching myself ________</p>

<p>Is that okay? Does anyone know if I can make this better?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help</p>

<p>Well maybe you could write one of your essays about it to explain your dedication. And there is always the “additional information” section to include things that need explaining.</p>
