Language Classes?

<p>On average, how many langauges do students at Georgetown take? Is it uncommon to meet someone who takes 2 langauges per semester?</p>

<p>I'm taking 3 langauges in high school, but I think I'd live if I didn't continue sign language or Japanese, but I think it'd be a waste to end 6 years os Spanish. If I were to get accepted to GU, could I possibly get placement into higer-level Spanish and Korean classes, and finish the courses on langauge, with a few in the culture, specialized language, or lit areas, while still learning Chinese from scratch?</p>

<p>What school are you in? </p>

<p>In the FLL two languages at a time is perfectly fine. </p>

<p>In other schools if you are at the advanced level in one language you're fine to be taking any other language. It's really just a function of time, especially if you're in the SFS. </p>

<p>I'm in the SFS and thanks to lots of AP and previous college credit from summers I'm able to take second level intensive Russian next year as well as first level German. I'm also taking a grand total of 18 credits I think which is a pretty big courseload. </p>

<p>I actually know someone in the College who is taking three language classes next year. </p>

<p>So I think depending on school and credit situation if you place into advanced Spanish, which it sounds like you will, that shouldn't be a big problem. Intensive Chinese, I'll warn, just by itself like any other intensive language is going to take up a lot of your time and mental effort, however.</p>
