<p>I am in AP Spanish this year...
Never got a B in spanish</p>
<p>Does this qualify for Speak read and write spanish??? :D </p>
<p>Other than that, I speak Mandarin Chinese, and I'm only half chinese :)</p>
<p>I put S R W Spanish and Chinese. I think if you’re in an AP class and have had straight A’s (assuming “never got a B” doesn’t mean you’ve gotten straight C’s haha) then you do speak, read, and write it.</p>
<p>Thanks!!
no b’s, c’s, or d’s haha :)</p>
<p>What defines being able to speak, read or write a language anyway? I took 7 years of French but I’m not a fan of studying grammar. For the other languages I speak I didn’t have to learn the grammar out of a textbook so it was a hard transition for me. What I’m trying to say is that while I can have long conversations in French (have French relatives and therefore lot’s of opportunities to practice) and get my point across (do you even have that expression in English? I get my languages mixed up a lot xD) in writing, I tend to make quite a few grammatical errors because I don’t know all the rules. And I have a similar problem with reading. French was the first language that I actually learned out of a textbook and not only did I have trouble with the grammar, but I hated learning vocabulary. So while I do understand the jist of a text when I’m reading it, but I rarely understand all the words. </p>
<p>So does being able to speak or write a language mean you have to be able to do so flawlessly, or is it enough to be able to make yourself understood?</p>
<p>I find some of this logic flawed. For starters, getting an A only implies that you’ve done well in the system in place. After all, strength of curriculum varies so much, it’s kind of a weak metric. Beyond that, focusing on the speaking aspect, from my experience and from what I’ve discussed with friends when I was in college as to how their high schools were, the dialogues tend to be limited in scope. Really, the best way to evaluate if you’re comfortable with speaking is to immerse yourself in a Spanish speaking environment and see if you hold your own.</p>
<p>Especially because French is so popular, you don’t want to get caught with your pants down by an interviewer if you claim you know French and you turn out not to be so proficient after all.</p>
