<p>I am currently a freshman in Spanish 1, pretty easy A. I want to become fluent in Spanish because many people in family are, even though I grew up as a typical white english-speaking kid. Would taking Spanish 2 over the summer at a local CC and doing Spanish # as a Sophomore be a good idea? Or should I do a Spanish Learning Program and just skipping maybe a level or two (my school lets you skips language levels if you're current teacher says it is fine, and I know a few who have done it, so it would be pretty easy to skip a level) be a better option? </p>
<p>Side note: I am not doing this just to get into top colleges, I actually am interested and want to become a fluent speaker eventually, and if possible, in high school.</p>
<p>I found Spanish easily self-teachable. I got rejected from Spanish 1 freshman year since there was a lack of space in classes. I took Spanish 1 sophomore year, consequently.
I say save your money and self-teach yourself over the summer. Just go to your bookstore and grab one of those language self-teaching guides. I surprisingly found Spanish for Dummies really useful.</p>
<p>I guess that sounds okay, but I wanna be able to skip maybe a level or two, are there any programs/classes like at a CC I could take to do that?</p>
<p>You want Spanish classes to be on your college transcript.
Some colleges want 3 years of foreign language in hs as a requirement to place out of taking fl in college.</p>
<p>Work with the Spanish teacher at your hs to help you reach your goal of fluency.</p>
<p>well my school goes up to Spanish 5 and has two years of Spanish for Spanish speakers , so I don’t think I would have a problem of not being able to continue, but I watt to b able to skip a level…</p>
<p>Our public libraries carry an extensive on line language program for free with your library card. It is call Mango Languages. It takes self discipline but very convenient and free:).
I have also seen Groupons for on line language programs- can’t remember the names.</p>
<p>If you want to skip a level, self study over the summer (or take a CC course, either or) and when the new school year starts, request to skip a level in the language course. Normally, they’ll give you a placement test.</p>
