<p>I am a non-native (but NOT a gringo..) taking AP Spanish Language this year as a sophomore and I love it. I have gotten the opportunity to make so many Hispanic friends and the teacher loves me. I, needless to say, admire the language. However, reading seems to be my biggest weakness. I am excellent at speaking and fairly advanced at writing, but reading always causes me problems. If it weren't for this section, I could pass the AP test with a five. </p>
<p>Anyway, I say this because AP Spanish Literature is basically reading, reading, and more reading. Then some analyzation in the form of writing, which is fine with me. Should I take Literature or end with Language? I am one of the only whites that would be taking the Lit class. Has anyone taken both Lang and Lit that can give me a general comparison of the two classes?</p>
<p>Thank you!!</p>
<p>you could just not take it…</p>
<p>You don’t have to, but it would put you up to bat in college admissions. I am planning to do so senior year, (taking AP Spanish Language next year) </p>
<p>I believe Spanish Language is enough, but if you want to be competitive, get a better understanding of Spanish and maybe, maybe improve your chances in life, I suggest to take it. </p>
<p>I would only not take it if I tend to have scheduling problems. Aka your caught on in between of choosing between classes. If there is an empty spot, take advantage of it. </p>
<p>Plus, I don’t think it’s ALL reading, I bet the guidelines and concepts of it are exactly like AP English Literature, just a different language, lol. Maybe the majority at most.</p>
<p>I was originally going to give a different answer, but then I read some of your past threads where you said basically, “I don’t want to take honors precalc and APUSH because they’re too hard” and "Chance me for UCLA and UNC-CH.</p>
<p>Those schools will be looking for students who are taking the most rigorous program at their high schools. Taking the easy way out will only hurt you long-term.</p>
