Should I Drop Spanish 3?

I am a online home schooled junior who started Spanish 3 this week. The class is fully online with no teacher interaction. All of the lessons are almost entirely in Spanish, and each lesson has taken me about 2 hours to complete (with the occasional help of Google Translate). My Spanish 2 class that I took last year was easy in comparison to this one. I am really not sure if I will be able to get a good grade in this class if I continue to take it. The only reason I am even taking the class is because I know that three years of the same language looks good on college applications. Should I drop the class since I feel way out of my depth, or should I stick with it and hope for the best? Any help is appreciated.

What types of colleges do you think you are shooting for?
They may have recommendations/requirements for foreign languages.
If I look at our State U, Rutgers, it requires 2 years. If you look at private colleges, e.g., Princeton, it requires 4 years.

So look at what is required for your State Us and Colleges at a minimum.

ALso talk to your parents and Guidance Counselor about this. What would you take instead?

I think that you are going to need to find a way to use Spanish if you want to do better in it. Watch TV shows or movies in Spanish. Find Spanish speaking people in your area who you can talk to for a couple of hours every week.

Dropping it also seems like a reasonable idea. To me an online class is not an ideal way to learn a foreign language.

Whether two years of a foreign language is okay will depend on which schools you are applying to. One daughter only had two years of foreign language and got accepted to 6 out of 7 universities she applied to.

Is there any way you could take Spanish from another provider?
Is there any way you could take Spanish from a community college for instance- taking Spanish 1-2-3 in commmunity college would cover you for the early
equivalent of High school Spanish 1-2-3-4… all in 3 semesters. Level 4 covers all universities in the country.

Well, you said it right there. Yes, some doors will close for you if you drop Spanish now.

I have to agree that learning it online and without teacher interaction is hardly ideal. I would agree with other posters advice to get creative… look for other ways to take it (through college or through another online high school). Since you are homeschooled, you have a lot of options and flexibility.
