I know a little bit of Russian. I attended a three-week Russian language summer camp at the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega, GA after both my freshman and sophomore years. It’s called the Federal Service Language Academy. I’m headed to Moldova:)
Could someone add me to the Korea semifinalist chat on Kakao? My username is annaliseburke. I’d be happy to help people with Korean, or with any questions you guys may have about the country (since I’ve lived there)
@slang4201 Where are the Kirov finalists going? I mean, which Kirov (there are two in Russia)
@catinthehat579 we are going to the city of Kirov in the Kirov oblast I believe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirov,_Kirov_Oblast
Anyone hear news for Estonia or Latvia yet?
Have any families heard about Tajik/Persian yet?
Also waiting on Tajik. So far, nada.
My son is also waiting on Tajik and has heard nothing.
Hello I am still waiting to hear for Arabic summer. Has anyone in this applied in previous years? If so, would you be able to give us all an idea as to when the notifications came out last year? Hopefully this would allow us to have a better idea of when they will come out this year. Sorry if this has already been discussed in this thread I have not read it all. Thanks!
Hi @nickmont! So i’m not a previous applicant, but I did go through last year’s thread and some of the facebook pages. It looks like last year that Arabic summer started coming out around 3/24, so hopefully only two more weeks for you all!
@savlam Thanks so much! Can’t wait! Good luck to everyone! And congrats to those who have already heard!!
Hi! I’m a Turkish Summer semi-finalist. Does anyone know when we might hear back? Earlier in the thread someone said we were in the next wave, thanks!
@agjade
Following last year’s time frame, you have the possibility of hearing back next week!
@EmmaPotts
Hey! I saw you as I was reading through last years thread! Did you wind up getting a NSLI-Y scholarship, or did you reapply this year? 
My daughter just informed finalist to Tajikistan!!!
@Desert250 Congrats to your daughter! Any other languages heard back yet?
@Desert250 Congratulations to your daughter! My son heard as well, but he’s an alternate.
Congratulations to Tajik finalists and alternates. We got not email so I suppose that means it’s a no.Second choice was Russia, and those notice already went.
My son is waiting to hear about summer Arabic (1st choice) or summer Mandarin (2nd choice) - no news yet for us. Has anyone heard back about Arabic or Mandarin yet?
@phoneme16 Yes I was definitely more active last year then this year haha. I think that has to do with that being my first year applying and now I am more chill. But no I unfortunately didn’t make it last year but I applied again and now I am just waiting for Korea summer to hear back!
