<p>Anyone heard anything about the intro languages at Stanford? Which ones are hardest/easiest/best taught? Is it best to take one freshman year or wait?</p>
<p>I was planning to wait, but that's also because I'm not interested in taking a language and want to take interesting courses my freshman year.</p>
<p>I don't know which language I want to study :( I want to continue my French and take up a new language at the same time, but I don't know whether I'd like to do Latin, Italian or Modern Greek. Help! I hope there's an open house thing for languages in the fall.</p>
<p>What're you looking at majoring in, nkay?</p>
<p>If I chose a language that I have never studied before, then I don't need to do those online placement tests, right?</p>
<p>entropicgirl, no clue. I've been thinking about French + English Literature lately. I'm so glad I have two years to decide - in the UK, you're supposed to make up your mind at, say, 15 or 16! Crazy.</p>
<p>inuendo, that's right.</p>
<p>Special Language department!</p>
<p>Intermediate Vietnamese!</p>
<p>yay for sanskrit & gujarati!</p>
<p>anyone else have to take a language for the actual requirement?</p>
<p>i learned crap from my french teacher for three years, so i'm basically starting out from scratch...</p>
<p>i took 5 years of spanish in high school and could probably have opted out of the requirement with the SAT2s but I didn't cuz I wanted to take a language in college anyways.</p>
