Foreign Languages

I’m currently enrolled in Spanish I as an 8th grader, and plan to finish Spanish, which goes to Spanish IV. There is no AP. There is also German, which goes to level IV, so do you think that if I did both of these languages that I’d look better to colleges? Also, I’m interested in language, so I’m not gonna be doing this just for college.

Colleges are just looking for language to level 4 or AP. As long as you reach level 4 or higher you’re okay. If your school doesn’t offer any language to AP level colleges won’t expect that from you. Adcoms judge you based on your school.

As long as you reach the highest level offered (level 4), you’re fine.

Okay, thanks! Which one do you think would generally be easier to study?

I’d say they’re both about the same. If you want to take both, by all means, go ahead (if you have the elective space), but i’d stick to spanish if you can only take one, since you’ve already started.
