<p>What's the minimum score I need on the SAT II Spanish subject test to pass out of the language requirement for the College of Letters and Science.</p>
<p>i think it was a 580 or 590?</p>
<p>What is it with Americans (in general) and not wanting to learn more languages? The requirement is there for a reason. Take advantage of the opportunity to learn something new, Cal offers many languages. People hold much more respect for speakers of multiple languages.</p>
<p>Whatever though, it's your choice. Just remember that taking the easy way out isn't always the best decision.</p>
<p>i totally agree with you 8 1/2, i don't need to take the FL req cause i speak fluently (spanish) took 4 tears, 700 on SAT's AP test and what not, but i'm looking forward 2 choosing a language as an elective, maybe even a non-western language like arabic or farsee or something.
it's a cultural phenom here, because many americans are sheltered, and aren't forced 2 speak any languages. This is diminishing the culture. i'd love 2 see highschool students having 2 speak multiple languages (or even offered multiple languages). I know that in the Netherlands secondary students can't graduate without knowing 5 languages (including dutch).
look forward to your FL requirement.
Goethe said, that a man only values agiants other men by the number of languages he can speak.</p>
<p>Not enough students even know how to speak English properly. And English is the only language anyone in the world needs to know to be successful.</p>
