<p>I've purchased some textbooks and tapes online hoping to teach myself a new language.
So my question is: if I teach myself the new language, assuming that I become pretty good at speaking/reading it, can I put it in my college app?
If so, how do I do that? and does learning a new language on your own look better than learning a language through a classroom?
btw, I'm still taking a foreign language class at school, so I'm not hoping to replace learning this with that.</p>
<p>Yeah, you could put it down. Although to make it impressive you should take an AP/SAT II in the language you’re studying (if one exists) and score fairly high. That will allow you to prove you’ve actually learned the language to a considerable degree.</p>
