<p>How does one show colleges they love learning languages that aren't offered in school or are just to hard to self-study AP wise? I'm taking ap italian as a class in 12th and spanish 5 (ap spanish minus ap exam...) next year, but how do I account for german and latin? Take APs for them somehow?</p>
<p>Write about it in your essay...passion for learning about other people through their language?</p>
<p>You're right, great idea...doesn't hurt too much to visit Spain, Italy, and Germany by the beginning of senior year either.</p>
<p>Have your foreign language teacher write a recommendation including such information.</p>
<p>Question: Is it not considered "passionate" enough if I only took on another extra language in my sophomore year? It's pretty much unheard of in my school, taking two foreign languages, I mean. Should I try and study another outside of class?</p>
<p>jimbob there's just one problem: I don't know how any of the teachers at my school could account for german. I guess I could get my italian teacher to do a rec, but by the time he gets to know me, it will be time to mail everything in.....</p>
<p>Try your schools gifted support person - (s)he will probably have lots of other good stories to tell about you, and can throw in a paragraph about your interest in German.</p>
