<p>I'm fluent in Telugu, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and English while I'm very good at Spanish and German. I've self-taught myself Japanese, Mandarin and German extensively and have have taken national and foreign tests to prove my skill in those languages while I take Spanish in HS and scored a 5 on the AP Spanish Language test even though I'm only in my third year of Spanish in HS, and Telugu is my mother tounge, but I am illiterate in that language. Do these count as activities?</p>
<p>Sure, I'd put it. Learning languages is quite an impressive skill (one that I don't have, unfortunately).</p>
<p>You should take SAT subjects test in German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese (provided you have the time). Saying you speak German and proving you speak German are quite different.</p>
<p>holy crap that is really impressive, yeah i'd definitely include that AND as godfatherbob said take the subject tests and ap tests</p>
<p>Not only is it an "activity," it might be considered a "passion." Oh, the college admissions process is too much. Here we have an obviously very gifted kid following his interests and is unsure if it will be a POSITIVE on his college applications?! Take the tests if you like, but just talking about why you feel compelled to learn so many languages will likely be interesting enough. Maybe an admissions officer would even be more impressed that someone is doing something for the love of it, not simply to collect more AP/SAT stats.</p>
